FAQs
What is shared ownership?
What is shared ownership? It's a great way of buying your first home without the large amount usually required to secure a mortgage. The scheme allows you to purchase an initial stake in the property while paying rent on any remaining share. Not only that, but it also makes getting on the property ladder more affordable than ever before!

What is staircasing?
Staircasing allows you to gradually increase your ownership of your home, up to a maximum of 100% (depending on the terms of your lease), when it suits you. This gives you more power over the price and rent that comes with owning such an asset. By staircasing, homebuyers can take their time in making these decisions rather than having one large amount at once.
For more details on how staircasing works, take a look at our comprehensive guide.
Do I need a deposit when buying with shared ownership?
