Shared Ownership could be the ideal starting point. This government-backed scheme allows you to buy a share of a home, typically between 10% and 75%, and pay rent on the remaining portion. Over time, you may be able to increase your share in the property, a process known as ‘staircasing’.
At The Mortgage Village, we understand that Shared Ownership can feel complex, but it offers a fantastic opportunity to get on the property ladder with less upfront cost. We’ll guide you through every step, from understanding eligibility criteria to finding the right mortgage for your share.
We’ll also explain the costs involved, such as rent, service charges, and maintenance responsibilities, so you have a clear picture before you commit.
Let us help you unlock the door to your new home with confidence.
Shared Ownership schemes involve paying rent on part of your home as well as mortgage payments. Rent and service charges can increase over time, affecting affordability. Eligibility criteria apply. You may not be able to staircase to full ownership.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up with mortgage or rent payments.
It’s important to understand the terms and seek advice specific to your circumstances.
