Where do I find a Property for the Shared Ownership Scheme?
Shared Ownership and the Home buy scheme, (which is a government funded scheme) are aimed at first time buyers to make home purchase more affordable. It is available to council tenants, housing association tenants, and persons who are on the housing waiting list. Properties can be found either through the open market or via housing associations, social landlords , councils , and more recently through building companies. You can find listings of homes which are available under these schemes from housing associations who participate in this scheme or from local authorities who participate in this scheme. Alternatively you may refer to the internet where there are many specialist websites that offer information on these properties, they will include detailed specifications and pictures of the properties.
