Shared ownership london - how it works

Shared ownership is a scheme that helps people buy affordable housing.

Key workers and other first-time buyers buy part of one of our shared ownership properties, and rent the rest from us at a subsidised rent.

Shared ownership opens up affordable housing options to people who could not otherwise afford to buy their own home. It is sometimes also known as homebuy, part buy part rent or part ownership.

You can apply online or contact us to see if shared ownership could help you.

Use our affordability calculator to see if our shared ownership scheme could help you buy the home you want, or browse the properties available now through our property search.

You need to be eligible to apply for shared ownership. Priority is given to people who live or work locally, to council and housing association tenants or those on waiting lists, and to key workers such as teachers, NHS staff and police.

For more information about how the scheme works, and who is eligible to apply, read our shared ownership guide.
