FAQs

What is Shared Ownership & Who is Eligible?

Shared Ownership is a government-backed scheme that helps people get onto the property ladder by allowing you to buy a share in a home, typically between 25% and 75% of the property’s value. You then pay rent on the remaining share, which is owned by a housing association like L&Q. Over time, you can increase your share through a process called “staircasing” until you own the property outright.

Am I eligible for Shared Ownership?

To buy a home through Shared Ownership you will need to meet the following requirements to be eligible:

• Have a combined annual household income under £80,000, or £90,000 in London.
• Not own a property or part of a property.
• Be over 18 years old.

Can I Sell My Shared Ownership Home?

Yes, you can sell your home at any time. Under the terms of your lease, we have eight weeks to find a buyer for your home so your property can remain as a Shared Ownership property. You can then instruct an estate agent on the open market.
