Not having a big enough deposit is often cited as one of the key reasons that stops people from being able to buy a home, even on a mortgage with a high Loan to Value (LTV) . Getting together enough capital for the deposit can be difficult.

Shared ownership schemes seek to make it easier for people to buy a home by needing a smaller deposit.

If you’re interested in a shared ownership scheme you may be wondering therefore what shared ownership mortgage lenders are available to you, you can use the free comparison service at the top of this page to compare the shared ownership mortgage offerings from a variety of different lenders, which might help you decide which is best for you.

Shared Ownership

In a shared ownership scheme, you buy a share of your home and pay rent to the housing association for the portion of your home which you don’t own the share of.

You can get finance from shared ownership mortgage lenders to help you purchase your portion of the property and as time goes by you have the option to purchase more of the property either through your savings or from additional mortgage borrowing until you outright own the property completely. 

Shared ownership mortgages generally only require you to put down a 5%-10% deposit of the equity share you wish to purchase rather than a 5%-10% deposit of the value of the entire property. For more information on getting a mortgage with a low deposit click here.
