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.

What is London Living Rent?

Funded by the Mayor of London, LLR is a Government-backed scheme that enables you to increase your savings by renting at a discounted rate than you would expect to pay for a similar property on the open market. This helps you to save additional money each month, which can go towards buying a home through Shared Ownership. The main benefit to renting an LLR home is that you can go on to purchase your home, saving at your own pace. Plus, all properties that are on the LLR scheme guarantee tenants of an assured shorthold tenancy of a minimum of three years and a maximum of ten.

• Have the right to rent – proven by possession of British/EU/EEA Citizenship or a valid UK residency visa.
• Meet the minimum income and affordability standards – this will depend on the price of the home you are interested in.
• Minimum income requirements should be used as a guide and can vary depending on a household’s circumstances and financial commitments.
• Have a formal tenancy (for example, in the private rented sector) or live in an informal arrangement with family or friends as a result of struggling with housing costs.
• Shared Ownership eligibility criteria will apply on your London Living Rent home, L&Q cannot guarantee you will meet future affordability requirements should you wish to buy a Shared Ownership home.
