Shared Ownership Week 2022
Shared Ownership Week returns for 2022, from 5th - 12th October with the aim to raise awareness and promote Shared Ownership across London. With events and articles available throughout the week covering topics such as: What is Shared Ownership? What are the costs? Answers to the most FAQ and case studies.
Shared Ownership has been a popular option for those who want to step onto the property ladder and has helped bridge the affordability gap. The aim of Shared Ownership Week and the work Red Loft and many other local authorities and housing associations do is to educate people about the benefits of Shared Ownership and eliminate the myths that surround it.
What is Shared Ownership? If you cannot afford the full mortgage for a property Shared Ownership allows you to buy a share of the property (between 25% and 75% of its value) and you pay rent on the remaining percentage share you don’t buy. The deposit needed for your mortgage is a percentage based on the share you are buying, rather than the full value of the property, making it easier to get on the property ladder.
Below are some brilliant examples of Shared Ownership in full force at some of our developments:
