Your shared ownership lease should set out services that you may need to pay for in the future. In the main these are:

• Staircasing Costs: If you choose to buy more shares in the future you may be liable to pay for the cost of the valuation, legal fees and administration fees charged by the housing association

• Selling Costs: When you sell, you may need to pay for the cost of the valuation, solicitor fees, estate agent fees, or a nomination/assignment fee payable to the housing association

• Consent Costs: You may be required to pay an administration fee to the housing association if you seek consent from the Landlord on matters where you are required to do so by the lease
