A bit more about how it all works…..when you opt to purchase using Shared Ownership it allows you to buy a share of a property and pay reduced rent on the part that you don’t own. The scheme has been designed to help people on lower incomes with smaller deposits get on the property ladder. Buying a Shared Ownership property can potentially be cheaper than renting one, but the main benefit is that you own a percentage of a home. In many cases your monthly outgoings will work out cheaper than if you purchase a property at full market value, and of course you also stand to benefit from any increase in the value of the share you have purchased.
