Information about shared ownership properties (also known as 'part buy part rent homes')
Shared ownership housing: three key property types:
If you are looking for information about shared ownership properties, including shared ownership homes for sale or rent in your area, you can search for part buy part rent homes at Share to buy's affordable housing property portal. There are three main types: new build shared ownership - where you part rent and part buy a brand new property; second hand shared ownership where you purchase an existing share (known as 'resales'); shared equity homes, including the main equity loan schemes of HomeBuy Direct and FirstBuy. There are also sub-categories of these schemes such as rent to buy, shared ownership for over-55s etc. Shared ownership properties vary not just in type but also by region. For example, shared ownership homes in London tend to be flats, whilst towns such as Milton Keynes may have more shared ownership houses for sale. There is also growing availability of part buy part rent houses with capped staircasing on special rural schemes.

Further information on shared ownership and equity share properties
You can find more information on shared ownership properties at sharetobuy.com. The Share to buy affordable housing property portal has unique affordability featuers, showing you the minimum deposit required to purchase a property and the likely monthly payments (we are able to do this because we are shared ownership mortgage brokers with up to the minute access to the latest product information). The issue of what deposit you need for a shared ownership home is important. For example, though it is possible to apply for a shared ownership new build flat with a 5% or 10% deposit, you may sometimes need a deposit closer to 20% of the share. For more information on shared ownership mortgages, contact Share to buy, specialist shared ownership mortgage brokers. There are even shared ownership schemes for disabled people and those over 55 years old, and from time to time you may even find 100% mortgage deals are available. We are also hoping to add FirstBuy properties and other shared equity homes in the coming weeks.
