What is Shared Ownership?

About Shared Ownership
Shared Ownership can help first-time buyers in Thamesmead helps first-time buyers get onto the property ladder in a more affordable way. You can usually buy an initial share of 25% to 75% of the value of a home, and you’ll need to take out a mortgage to pay for your share of the home’s purchase price.
You will then pay a subsidised rent on the share you don’t own, and there will also be a service charge to make up the monthly cost of buying through Shared Ownership.
By buying through Shared Ownership, you will need a smaller deposit compared to buying on the open market, this option significantly reduces the upfront costs - especially if you’re looking at new build homes in Thamesmead. It will also make you an owner-occupier in your home giving you the same responsibilities as a home owner.
Advantages of Shared Ownership
✔ It’s a more affordable way to purchase a home without needing a huge deposit
✔ You can own a high quality, new build home affordably without compromising on location or quality
✔ You can buy as much of the property as you can afford, staircasing to buy more shares in the future
✔ It’s a great way to get out of the renting cycle and become a home-owner
✔ You will own the home and be able to decorate it however you like
✔ You can sell your home at any time and will benefit from any increase in value
