How shared ownership works

You can buy a home through the shared ownership scheme if you cannot afford all of the deposit and mortgage payments for a home that meets your needs.

You buy a share of the property and pay rent to a landlord on the rest.

When you buy a home through shared ownership, you:

  • buy a share between - in the Chesterford development you can buy a share of 40% or more of the home's full market value
  • pay rent to the landlord for the share they own
  • usually pay monthly ground rent and service charges, for example towards the maintenance of communal areas
     

Buying your share

The share you can buy is 40% or more.

You can take out a mortgage to buy your share or pay for it with savings. You'll also need to pay a deposit, usually between 5% and 10% of the share you're buying.

All shared ownership homes (houses and flats) are leasehold properties.

Priority will initially be given to anyone with a local connection to the Uttlesford district.  A household income of £80,000 a year or less is required to be eligible to apply for the properties.
