Overview

Shared ownership made clearer with expert guidance

Getting the right guidance for your shared ownership scheme

Shared ownership can be a great way to get onto the property ladder if you’re not able to buy a home outright. You’ll buy a share of the property and rent the rest from a housing association. While shared ownership comes with some additional considerations compared to a traditional mortgage, having the right support makes the process much easier.

How we can help

At Tees, our experienced property conveyancing team are members of The Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) and are here to guide you through every step of buying and selling a shared ownership home. We can also help with “staircasing,” the process of gradually buying more of your home until you own 100%.

Choose the right lender with our independent financial advisers

Alongside our legal expertise, our in-house independent financial advisers are here to help you find the right mortgage lender for your needs. They’ll explain all the options available, so you can make an informed choice that works best for your situation.

How we can help

If you’d like to meet one of our experts for a confidential, no obligation chat, please get in touch.

We have offices across Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire, but we can help you wherever you are in England and Wales.

Friendly and supportive staff who always responded promptly to any enquiry. Would fully recommend.

Things to consider before going for shared ownership

Shared ownership can be a great path to homeownership, but it’s important to think about a few key factors:

How sharing ownership with a housing association (or another party) might impact your personal situation.
Your financial commitments: If you’re taking out a mortgage for the part you own, you’ll also need to cover rent for the part you don’t.
What to do if your payments become difficult to manage.
The process of selling your home in a shared ownership arrangement.

Shared ownership can be a fantastic way to own your own home, but it’s good to be informed about what’s involved.
