Your latest guide to buying through Co-Ownership

You buy a share of your home (between 50% and 90% of the home's value) and pay rent on the remaining share.

You'll need to take out a mortgage to pay for your share of the purchase price of your home.

You can buy more shares in your home any time after you become the owner. This is known as staircasing.

Looking to move on, buy a larger share in your home, remortgage or carry out improvements?
