Looking for a home for shared ownership? You're in the right place!

Shared ownership is an affordable way to buy a home if you can’t afford to purchase on the open market. We offer a wide range of shared ownership homes across Essex, Kent, London and Sussex, designed to help more people take their first step into home ownership.

What is shared ownership?

Shared ownership is a government-backed scheme that allows you to buy a share of a home while paying a reduced rent on the share you don’t own. Sometimes called part buy, part rent, it’s one of the most accessible routes into long-term home ownership.

Shared ownership homes are sold on a leasehold basis, providing long-term security similar to full ownership. Most of our new build homes come with a long lease length (typically 990 years).

How shared ownership works

  • You purchase a share of a home (usually 25%–75%), although some newer homes are available from as little as 10%, depending on the development.

    A 5–10% mortgage deposit is typically required, based on the share you’re buying.

  • All shared ownership homes include monthly payments made up of:

    • A mortgage on the share you own.
    • A subsidised rent on the share you don’t.
    • A service charge (where applicable).
