What is a Shared Ownership Conveyancing?

A shared ownership scheme is when buyers purchase a share of a property, usually from a housing association (HA) or registered social landlord (RSL) predominantly after securing a mortgage and means a buyer shares the ownership with the HA or RSL.

As most schemes will allow a buyer to pay more on the property as their circumstances change, often this will lead people to eventually request to purchase the remainder of the share down the line.

As certain lenders have specific requirements that must be met before they will lend money to a buyer on these schemes, there are a myriad of complicated terms and conditions that are attached, as such, it's vital you have an experienced team of conveyancing and shared ownership solicitors deal with your scheme.

Forbes is that team.
