Home Ownership: What is Shared Ownership?
Contrary to what it sounds like Shared Ownership doesn't mean that you be physically sharing your property with anyone else (although some do choose to).
Established back in the 1980's - a time of soaring house prices - it gave people who would otherwise be excluded from home ownership the chance to buy a share of a property. Typically most schemes are offered through Housing Associations with the property being within one of their existing developments or obtained on the open market.
You buy a share of the property - anything from 25% to75% - and pay rent on the remainder. So, Shared Ownership is a viable, tried and tested option.
