The rent on your Shared Ownership home is typically 2.75% of the unsold equity. So if you own a 40% share of your home, the rent will be charged on the remaining 60%. However, the exact cost for each home may differ, and you’ll find this information on the respective property listing or price list for a home you’re interested in. 

Your rent will be reviewed every year and may be subject to rises in the Retail Prices Index or Consumer Price Index, plus an additional amount (usually between 0.5% and 2%). However, this will all be communicated to you well in advance once you have purchased your initial shares.

From 1 April 2026, the rent you pay on the share of your home that you don’t own will increase by 5%. 

Over the last few years, markets have been unsettled and this has meant that RPI has previously been much higher. Since April 2023, Shared Ownership households who completed on or before 31st December 2022 have received a voluntary monthly rent credit to reduce your costs. As market conditions stabilise, this temporary support will now be coming to an end from 31st March 2026.

We know that the cost of living remains a challenge for many people and we’re committed to supporting our customers wherever possible. The 5% rent increases for 2026/27 will be calculated using your discounted rent, helping make sure the impact remains as manageable as possible. 

This means that your rent will remain lower than it would have been and future changes will continue to follow the terms of your lease. 

If you are finding it difficult to keep up with your payments we encourage you to contact your Management Provider.
