Am I eligible to buy a home with shared ownership?
The eligibility criteria for shared ownership is simple; as long as you don’t currently own, or won’t own another property when you move in to a new home, you’re likely to qualify. Your annual household income must not exceed £80,000 and you’ll need to have savings to cover typical purchasing costs such as solicitors fees and your mortgage deposit. You must also have a local connection to the area whether that be close family ties, work or currently residing there.
