You can apply for shared ownership if you have a total household income of less than £80,000 per year (£90,000 in London).

Potential applicant(s) must be over 18 years of age.

You need to demonstrate that you can’t afford to buy a home on the open market, have a good credit rating and having enough savings to cover the legal costs of buying a home and the deposit.

If you are a current homeowner, your existing property will need to be sold subject to contract before you can apply.

All joint applicants must be named on any mortgage offer and on the resulting shared ownership lease.
