Frequently asked questions
Quick answers while you wait
Common Shared Ownership questions—so you can keep learning before we launch.
Can I buy a Shared Ownership home if I’m a first-time buyer?
Yes! It is primarily designed to help eligible buyers who cannot afford a suitable home on the open market.
Do I own the whole house?
You purchase a legal share of the property and live in the entire home, paying rent on the remaining unowned share.
Can I buy more shares later?
Yes, through a process known as staircasing, allowing you to buy up to 100% ownership in most properties.
Can I sell my Shared Ownership home?
Yes, via the standard Shared Ownership resale process through your housing provider or specialist portal.
Do I need a mortgage?
Most buyers use a combination of cash savings (deposit) and a mortgage to cover their share purchase.
