What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a government backed part buy, part rent scheme designed to help you take your first step onto the property ladder. Buyers purchase a share of the home, typically between 10% and 75%, and pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share. You can choose to increase your share in the future through a process known as staircasing.
