Shared ownership

Read Ryan and Charlotte's story here
Shared ownership is a part buy/part rent scheme that is partly funded by the government and aims to help first-time buyers.
It is designed as a stepping stone to completely owning your own home, allowing you to buy what you want when you can afford it.
Buying through shared ownership makes you an owner occupier, not a part tenant. You start off buying a share in your new home on a 999-year lease.
We aim to sell to first time buyers who are able to afford the cost of shared ownership but are unable to buy a suitable home in any other way. We will offer properties to people who live in the immediate area, or with a local connection.
Reasons for buying through shared ownership:
Affordability: Shared ownership is a great way to get on the property ladder, as it requires a smaller initial deposit compared to buying a home outright.
Stability: Shared ownership provides a stable living arrangement. Owning a share of a property gives you more security and control over your living situation.
Investment: Owning a property, even a share, can be a good investment. Over time, property values tend to increase, which means your share of the property could be worth more in the future.
