Co-Ownership Housing

Co-Ownership Housing

Co-Ownership is a government funded way to get onto the property ladder if you could not afford to buy a home otherwise.

You choose the property, they purchase it for you and then share ownership with you, where you start off with as large a share as you can afford.

Mostly they help first time buyers, but people who have owned a home in the past can use Co-Ownership if their circumstances warrant.

Whatever your circumstances, they must be satisfied that you cannot afford to buy the property on the open market and that you will be able to keep up the financial commitments involved.

There are limits on the top price of Co-Ownership property in every council area. These limits are reviewed regularly.  All properties are subject to valuation.
