Shared ownership
If you are considering moving or getting onto the property ladder we offer a range of homes available for purchase.
What is shared ownership?
Shared ownership is an ideal way for first-time buyers to purchase a share in a new property. This type of ownership is ideal for those set up to pay mortgages but may have less money saved for their deposit.
If you are interested in our range of shared ownership properties use our property search. You may also find us on Rightmove.

FAQs
What percentage of the property can I buy?
The initial share you buy will be between 25% and 75% of the full purchase price. The amount will be dependent on your circumstances, meaning it is not only affordable for you now, but in the future too.
What happens if I want to sell?
You can sell your shared ownership home at any time.
If you have less than a 100% share, you must inform us as we have the first option to buy back your home. If we can’t find a buyer for your home within a set period of time, you are able to sell your share on the open market through an estate agent.
If you have a 100% share, you’re free to sell the home yourself on the open market.
