Shared Ownership Eligibility

Shared ownership is designed to help buyers who are unable to purchase a suitable home on the open market. Applicants will need to meet the scheme’s qualifying criteria and demonstrate that the property is affordable to them. Prior to arranging a viewing, interested buyers will be required to complete a short affordability assessment by telephone with the housing association or their appointed financial advisor. This helps confirm eligibility and ensures the property is a suitable and affordable option before proceeding further.

Please note: shared ownership terms and conditions apply. All applicants must meet eligibility requirements and will be subject to an affordability assessment and approval by the housing association.
