About Shared Ownership

You will be able to buy more shares up to 100% at a later date.You pay a subsidised rent of 2.75% on the share you do not own. There are also monthly service charges price and Ground rents.

About Intermediate Rent

This is where rent is set at around 20% lower than the standard market rates, and are usually taken for a year (longer tenancies are available).

This offers you the opportunity to rent a brand new home at less than the market rate. The rent charged is approximately 20% lower than what you would expect to pay for a similar home in a similar area if you were renting from a private landlord. As well as being more affordable, you have the assurance that your home is built, managed and let by a registered provider.
