The purchaser pays a mortgage on the share they own and pays rent to a housing association on the remaining share.

When you’re ready, you can buy more shares until you staircase to owning 100% of your home.

To be eligible for shared ownership you would need to meet the following criteria: • Your annual household income does not exceed £80,000. • You have a deposit of at least 5% of the share value.

• You do not own another property or have your name on the deeds or a mortgage for a property worldwide. • This will be your only residence.

• You are a permanent UK resident or have indefinite right to remain.

Please note the minimum share you can purchase can vary depending on your financial situation and you may be asked to purchase a larger share, should your personal circumstances permit.
