The Shared Ownership Scheme lets you take out a mortgage on a smaller proportion of a property, while the remaining percentage is owned by the local authority or builder. The share you can buy is usually between 25% and 75%. You can buy a 10% share on some homes.
Since you will own a small percentage of the property, you must pay a monthly rental fee to the proprietor of the remaining shares. Since all Shared Ownership homes are classified as leaseholds, you must pay ground and service charges. Book your free mortgage appointment to get open and honest mortgage advice in Middlesbrough.

Moneyman has been a life changer for us. We would not be able to start on the property ladder if it weren't for Debbie and Matt. Matt has helped us through the stress of buying a house in this climate and they have both been nothing but supportive...

This is no different for those who are looking to get a mortgage with a Shared Ownership in Middlesbrough.
During your free mortgage appointment, a team member will explain the scheme and help you determine your eligibility.
We find some customers believe they will not need to put down a deposit for a Shared Ownership in Middlesbrough. This is incorrect, you will need to put down a deposit for this mortgage type. Almost every type of mortgage requires some form of deposit to deposit.
How the shared ownership works are, your mortgage will be taken out on the percentage of the property you own. As such, your deposit will directly reflect this.
For example, if your property was valued at £300,000 and you wanted to buy a 50% shared, you need to put down a deposit for the £150,000 you would be paying for.
If you put down only 5% deposit, your £150,000 would be on a 95% loan-to-value. If you can afford to put down more, you’ll have access to a wider range of mortgage deals and also lower your potential mortgage payments.
This type of practice is known as staircasing. This is when a homeowner can raise the share they own, at any time.
If you are only in ownership of 25% of the property initially, you will have the option, to purchase a further 25%, should it be affordable in the future.
Increasing your share will result in lower amounts on your rental costs, although your mortgage payments will remain the same.
When you take out a Shared Ownership in Middlesbrough, make sure to be aware that you pay both a mortgage and rental fees at the same time.
At the same time, you will be paying background rent and service charges because as we said Shared Ownership homes are leasehold.
We strongly recommend that you also conduct a property survey. If there are problems with the property, it is important that you know them in advance.
One of our dedicated mortgage advisors in Middlesbrough will inform you of the most suitable survey to take.
The Shared Ownership Scheme can only be used on properties in Middlesbrough owned by housing associations or builders. Some properties in Middlesbrough may have been built specifically for this scheme.
