Shared ownership
Shared ownership is an ideal way for key workers, social housing tenants and those in priority housing need to get a foot on the property ladder.
It is a part buy, part rent scheme, where you can buy a share in a new home, normally from 35%. You then pay a mortgage on the share you are buying and subsidised rent on the part you don't own. As a guide, the monthly payments of a mortgage, added to the rent will be about 75% of a monthly mortgage on the whole property.
The advantages of shared ownership is that you only have to find a fraction of the deposit. You will have the benefit of the investment on the percentage you own, as well as access to further shares as you can afford it.
If you are interested in applying for a home you can contact Moat, the Government appointed HomeBuy agent for Sussex.
You can apply for a range of HomeBuy schemes and if you are accepted, your details will be passed on to housing associations with properties in your area.
To check your eligibility, search for properties in your area and / or to apply please visit either the HomeBuy website or the Moat website.
This is a good option for those on a housing waiting list and in employment – you will be surprised at how affordable it is!
