What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership offers a more accessible route to homeownership by allowing you to purchase a share of a property’s value, while paying a subsidised rent on the remaining share.

Over time, you may choose to buy additional shares in your home through a process known as staircasing, potentially increasing your ownership up to 100%. For this property, the freehold will transfer to you upon reaching 100% ownership.

Deposits and mortgage payments are based on the share purchased, meaning costs are often lower than buying outright or renting privately.

L&G Affordable Homes is a Registered Provider delivering Shared Ownership homes and committed to creating well designed communities and supporting buyers throughout their home buying journey.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for Shared Ownership, you will need to:

Have a combined household income of £80,000 or less.
Be unable to afford the deposit and mortgage payments required to purchase a suitable home outright.
Meet the applicable Shared Ownership eligibility requirements.

If you currently own a property, its sale must complete on or before completion of your Shared Ownership purchase. Your finances and credit history will also be assessed to ensure the mortgage and rental payments are affordable and sustainable.

Shared Ownership Disclaimer

Shared Ownership is subject to eligibility, affordability checks and the terms of the lease. Rent is payable on the share not owned, along with any applicable service charges and other outgoings. Staircasing is subject to a valuation at the time of purchase and additional legal and valuation costs may apply. Priority may be given to applicants with a local connection.
