anywhere between 40-75% of the property value, and the part you don’t own you effectively ‘rent’ at a reduced price. This way you can be a homeowner without worrying about a large deposit you can’t find or afford. Shared Ownership is never one size fits all, as everyone’s circumstances are different, so a flexible approach that works around you and your individual needs is what makes this scheme so helpful. Due to the smaller deposit, you can purchase more shares in your home as and when you can afford it, up until you own 100% of your dream home if you want to.
