Shared Ownership Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is shared ownership and how does it work in London?
Shared ownership is a scheme supported by the government which aims to make owning homes in London easier for you. It’s especially helpful if you’re unable to purchase a property outright to get on the property ladder. The scheme provides help to buy a property if you can't afford to buy outright. In effect, shared ownership allows you to buy a share of a property (commonly between 25-75%) whilst paying rent on the remaining portion. This can make your monthly payments more manageable, assisting first-time home buyers like yourself to establish themselves within the fiercely competitive housing market in London.
-
Are there any additional costs or fees I should be aware of?
When buying a home using shared ownership, it’s important for you to know that you’ll still need to pay rent on the remaining share you don't own of your home. The rent is typically determined as a percentage of the full property value. Alongside mortgage payments and rent, there are other charges, such as service fees for the maintenance of communal spaces.
-
What is staircasing?
Staircasing refers specifically to buying more shares in your shared ownership home in the future. This increases the proportion of the property that you own. One advantage of this is that you pay less rent costs as your share quality increases since there will be less house value that isn’t yours to pay rental rates on. Staircasing may help improve your financial situation over time. Eventually, you could own your home outright.
-
What is the difference between new build and resale properties under shared ownership?
You might come across both new builds and resale properties when exploring options for shared ownership homes in London. New homes are part of fresh developments usually sold by housing associations. Resales are existing shared-ownership homes being sold by their current owners. There are advantages and disadvantages with both types.its your needs best.
-
What determines my eligibility to buy a shared ownership home?
If you’re struggling with affording an open market property due its cost, then purchasing a house through shared ownership could potentially offer an effective solution! Typically, first-time buyers or previous homeowners who no longer have financial means enabling them to purchase one reach out most commonly for assistance under this scheme—remember certainly these aren’t strict rules though! For eligibility towards gaining assistance from our aid program in London however, keep below an annual household income amounting no more than £90k.
-
What about stamp duty regulations on shared ownership properties?
Stamp Duty is applicable when buying properties within UK borders including situations occurring alongside purchases completed through Shared Ownership initiatives run by local Government bodies; complicating matters further however is knowing exactly where & when this notion applies—a conversation best had with solicitors during purchase processes generally as law enforcement bodies evaluate duty needs annually offering relief discounts sparing environmental harm associated too often seen as unavoidable from stricter procedures occurring previously.
-
Can I buy more shares?
Yes, there’s an option on the table for you to purchase more shares inside your home through the process we lovingly appoint as 'staircasing'. Better yet, larger shares also mean less rent payments required from you too monthly! To ensure smooth processes are followed, however, please consult documentation available with us so any potential limitations placed upon such ventures can be recognised before efforts are presented before Housing Association bodies.

How do I get a Shared Ownership Mortgage?
In your journey to securing a shared ownership mortgage, the best step forward is choosing an experienced mortgage broker.
