Shared ownership is a part-buy, part-rent scheme. If you cannot afford all of the deposit and mortgage payments for a home that meets your needs then this is a great option, as you buy a share of the property and pay rent to a landlord, or housing association on the rest.

Over time you are then able to buy more shares in your home, this is known as ‘staircasing’, with the ultimate aim of buying it outright whenever you can afford to. As you buy more shares, you’ll pay

less rent as the amount of rent you pay will be based on the landlord’s share. For more information on shared ownership schemes, click here.
