Shared Ownership provides an affordable route into home ownership and offers an alternative to renting.
You buy* a share of a home and pay rent on the part that you do not own.
The initial share purchased is usually between 25% and 75%. Some developments may have shares available from 10% where advertised. You will be required to complete an affordability assessment with a suitably experienced and qualified financial advisor, from bpha’s panel of advisors, to ensure the share you are purchasing is affordable and sustainable for you. This part of the service is free. You are not obligated to instruct one of our panel financial advisors and may wish to choose your own. In the future, you may choose to purchase more shares – a process known as ‘staircasing’ – or you can sell your share of the property based on its value at the time.
