Planning for the future is always important and with the Shared Ownership scheme the first time buyer in London can find a home that fits with their dreams and aspirations while making a rewarding investment in an attractive area of the city.

From colourful culture to the city’s many historical landmarks, buying a home in London will most certainly be an enriching experience that will immerse you in a lifestyle unique to anywhere else in the UK.

 

To be eligible for shared ownership, you must not already own a home or have sold your current home. You must have a household income of up to £90,000 if you are buying in London, or £80,000 outside of London.

 

You also have the option to buy the remaining share of the property from the housing association. You can do this all in one go or over a period of time. This is called Staircasing, and allows buyers to reach 100% ownership at their own pace and when they feel ready.

 

Finding the right Shared Ownership mortgage

Getting a Shared Ownership mortgage is fairly straightforward once you have been accepted for the scheme. Although not all high street lenders opt into these types of mortgages, there are several mainstream and specialists lenders that do so at very attractive rates. Mortgage terms are set similar to a regular mortgage, with the buyer working to pay off the loan over a set number of years.

Finding your dream should be an exciting and rewarding experience so get in touch today and discover your future in the UK’s most vibrant city.
