Once you have moved into your home

Once you have moved into your home

 Can I make adaptations/alterations to my home?

While you’re able to decorate your home as you like, you will require permission to make larger alterations.

Can I take a lodger or sub-let a Shared Ownership property?

Most Shared Ownership leases do not allow you to sub-let your home. However, lodgers are often allowed, as long as you have sought permission.

When will my first rental payment be taken once I move into my Shared Ownership home?

Your solicitor will collect payment from your completion date to the end of that month, plus the following month. This means that your first direct debit payment will be collected on the 1st day of the month after this period. Once you have provided Sage with your banking information via ‘my sage home’ portal the Homeownership Services Team will approve this for you which is when you will receive a confirmation letter in the post.

Can I have pets?

Customers must make Sage aware of any pets that will be living in the property to make sure they are accepted per our policy. Please read more here.

Approved pets will be registered on a Pet Agreement Form which buyers will have to sign and complete before they exchange contracts. You can find this form on My Sage Home.
