Mixed Tenure Developments

Talk to us as early as possible about the nature of the planning permission you have applied for or obtained.

A purchaser will be interested in the site design, location and the mix of commercial and residential use (if applicable) in any development they are considering buying in.  Co-Ownership is no different and this will form part of the property valuation.

You may also want to consider the specification of the properties intended for sale on the open market and via shared ownership. Buyers will expect a full turnkey finish and possibly some extra options such as an en-suite or sunroom.

Find out more about the types of properties we can buy here.

We have three products that buyers may choose from if they want to find a home with the help of Co-Ownership – Co-Own or Co-Own for Over 55s.  Please click the links to find out more about each.

With Co-Own and Co-Own for Over 55s, Co-Ownership buys the entirety of the property from you and grants an equity sharing lease to the co-owner.

Any service charge on a Co-Own property in the development is paid by the co-owner directly.

As with all properties that Co-Ownership buys, we will buy at the market value of the home, as confirmed by our external valuer. The title to the property must be good and marketable and suitable for purchase. You should discuss with us if there will be any title restrictions on the development generally to ensure that there are no conditions that would potentially inhibit a Co-Ownership purchase. An example of this could be when a developer restricts re-sales of properties within a specific time period.

We’re working on the basis that Co-Ownership are buying from you as a housing association, if this is different please let us know.
