What is shared ownership?

Shared ownership is a scheme to help first-time buyers get a foot on the property ladder. You buy a share in the property, typically 25-50%, and pay a subsidised rent on the remainder. In the future you can buy further shares and eventually own the property outright.

Landmark builds new housing developments and converts existing buildings for sale on this basis. We also have a list of properties for 'resale' - this is when an existing shared owner decides to sell their share.

Who can apply for shared ownership?

You must be able to raise the purchase price of the share on offer (usually by mortgage) and be able to afford all the monthly payments - i.e. mortgage, rent and service charge.

Existing homeowners do not qualify and you must have indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom.

You would normally only be considered for the Borough (local council area) in which you currently live or work. Priority is usually given to existing council and housing association tenants, key workers (essential public sector - e.g. teachers, NHS staff, police), and people registered on the Borough waiting list.
