Apply for Shared Ownership

Shared Ownership offers buyers the opportunity to step on to the property ladder when they may not be able to on the open market.

If you are interested in applying for a shared ownership home, you must first complete the Shared Ownership application below to confirm your eligibility. 

The Process

  1. Complete the above Shared Ownership application form to confirm your eligibility. 
  2. Contact us to let us know which home you want to buy, and we will let you know the next steps and the documentation we require.
  3. We will refer you to a financial advisor who can help assess your income and outgoings to make sure you can afford the payments for your home purchase.
  4. The financial advisor will let you know the share percentage that you can afford. You can then buy the share with either a repayment mortgage or a lump sum from savings (if you are not eligible for a mortgage).
  5. Once we have received all your documents, these will be reviewed by our Sales Team for approval.
  6. Now is the exciting part. You can now pay your reservation fee to secure your new home. When you reserve your new home, no one else will be able to reserve the home for a fixed period of time.
  7. Apply for your mortgage (if applicable).
  8. Instruct a solicitor to act on your behalf. They will handle the legal aspects of buying the home. They will explain the terms of the shared ownership lease to you and communicate with our solicitors on your behalf.
