We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

What is Shared Ownership? Shared Ownership offers a more accessible route to homeownership by allowing you to purchase a share of a property's value, while paying rent on the remaining share.
Over time, you may choose to buy additional shares in your home through a process known as staircasing.
For this property, you can increase your ownership up to 100%, at which point the freehold will transfer to you.
Deposits and mortgage payments are based on the share purchased, meaning costs can often be lower than purchasing a comparable property outright.
Legal & General Affordable Homes is a Registered Provider delivering Shared Ownership homes and committed to creating well designed communities and supporting buyers throughout their home buying journey.
Eligibility Criteria To be eligible for Shared Ownership, you will need to: Have a combined household income of £80,000 or less.
Be unable to afford the deposit and mortgage payments required to purchase a suitable home outright. You must also meet the applicable Shared Ownership eligibility criteria.
If you currently own a property, its sale must complete on or before completion of your Shared Ownership purchase.
All applicants will be subject to financial and credit assessments to ensure the home is affordable and sustainable. About Highlight Housing We are The Affordable Homes Agency.
