Buying with Shared Ownership in Bexhill on Sea
Shared Ownership is a ‘part buy, part rent’ way of owning your own home for a smaller upfront payment - making it easier for buyers to get on the property ladder.
So, what does ‘Shared Ownership’ mean? When buying a Shared Ownership home, initially you can buy anywhere between 25% and 75% of the home. You would take out a mortgage for the share you are buying, or in some cases you can be a cash buyer.
On the outstanding percentage of the property that you don’t yet own, you pay a subsidised rent. The combined monthly mortgage and rent payments are often less than if you were to buy the home outright and can sometimes be less than if you were renting.
