Shared Ownership Explained
Shared ownership offers an alternative route onto the property ladder by allowing eligible buyers to purchase a percentage of a property rather than buying it outright. The remaining share is retained by the housing provider, with the homeowner paying rent on the portion they do not own.

In this case, the property is offered for sale with a 50% ownership share. Buyers can purchase this share using savings or a mortgage, subject to the usual financial and affordability checks. As a mortgage is only required for the share being purchased, the deposit needed may be lower than for an outright purchase. Mortgage deposits typically start from 5% of the purchased share, depending on the lender and individual circumstances.

Although rent is payable on the remaining share, purchasers are homeowners rather than tenants. They are responsible for their mortgage payments, shared ownership rent, service charges, estate charges and other household expenses, as applicable.

Who Can Apply for Shared Ownership?
According to Futures Housing, applicants may qualify for shared ownership if their household income is below £80,000 per year and they are first-time buyers or are otherwise unable to afford a suitable home on the open market.

Futures Housing also advises that applicants should be British citizens or permanent residents and be free from bankruptcy or county court judgements. All applications are subject to eligibility checks, financial assessment and approval by Futures Housing. Additional criteria may apply.

Can You Buy More Shares in the Future?
Staircasing, which is the process of purchasing additional shares in the property, is available subject to approval by Futures Housing, financial qualification and the terms of the lease.
This may allow homeowners to increase their percentage of ownership over time as their financial circumstances change. Purchasing additional shares will generally reduce the rent payable on the remaining share. Buyers should check the relevant lease conditions, valuation requirements and any associated costs before proceeding.

Further Information
Prospective purchasers are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the shared ownership arrangements and associated costs before making an offer. Eligibility, affordability, lease conditions and the option to purchase further shares should be confirmed directly with Futures Housing.
