Eligibility assessment The housing provider will assess whether you meet the eligibility criteria for the scheme.
This will be based on the eligibility criteria for the shared ownership scheme and the housing provider’s specific policies.
You can apply to buy the home if both of the following apply:
• Your household income is £80,000 or less
• You cannot afford all of the deposit and mortgage payments to buy a home that meets your needs
One of the following must also be true:
• You're a first-time buyer
• You used to own a home but cannot afford to buy one now
• You're forming a new household - for example, after a relationship breakdown
• You're an existing shared owner, and you want to move
• You own a home and want to move but cannot afford to buy a new home for your needs
If you own a home, you must have completed the sale of the home on or before the date you complete your shared ownership purchase.
As part of your application, your finances and credit history will be assessed to ensure that you can afford and sustain the rental and mortgage payments.
