Although you may not have sufficient income, savings or equity to enable you to purchase your own home, you might have enough to get your foot onto the home ownership ladder through shared ownership.

This is a scheme in which a housing association shares the ownership of a property with you. You pay rent and may be able to claim housing benefit while also paying an amount towards the mortgage.

For further information contact our Home Ownership Officer on 01296 585270.
