About Us

We're committed to helping you secure your very own home

 
   
 

Shared Ownership Homes has been borne out of the frustration of seeing people with disabilities severely discriminated against in the area of property ownership.

Shared Ownership Homes has brought together all the key Partners needed to make home ownership a reality for you, including Housing Associations, Care and Support Providers, Commissioners and Purchasers, Mortgage Lenders and Solicitors.

Together, the team has spent many months researching the reasons why this discrimination continues, despite the wishes of the Government and all businesses that everyone should be treated equally wherever possible.

Our over-riding principle:

  • You will not only end up with a home of your own, you will do so without having to spend any money acquiring the property or paying rent or mortgage interest to live in the property once you're in occupation

This has been achieved in a very simple way. The Housing Association, the Care Manager and the Lender are all commercial organisations that need to cover their costs or make a profit. And in pursuing this goal, they all have 'marketing budgets'. To be nominated as a Partner of Shared Ownership Homes, not only do they have to pass our stringent quality control tests, they also have to agree to share part of their marketing budget with us. The combined sum we receive from these organisations is sufficient to cover the entire cost of the service, including the administration and staff costs, valuation and legal fees in connection with the mortgage together with the legal fees and disbursements associated with the purchase of the property.

In short, they pay so you don't have to!
