How Shared Ownership Works
The shared ownership scheme is a practical and flexible way for many people to take their first step onto the property ladder. Shared ownership houses and flats offer a first step into homeownership for first-time buyers, growing families, and anyone looking to put down roots in the local community.
You purchase a share of a property, and pay rent on the remaining share to a landlord, in this case Aster. For example, if you buy a 40% share in a home, you’ll pay a mortgage on that portion and pay rent on the remaining 60% to us. This means your initial deposit and mortgage payments are based only on the share you own.
As a buyer, you’ll be responsible for your share of the property’s upkeep, as well as making your regular payments (both your mortgage and your rent). For more information, check out our full guide tohow shared ownership works.
