How the process works

In order to purchase or rent a home from us in Essex, Kent or Sussex, you will need to register with us. There is eligibility criteria for buying a home through shared ownership regardless of where you purchase.

Who is eligible?

Your annual household income cannot be more than £80,000 (£90,000 in London). You should be unable to purchase a home suitable for your needs without assistance. You cannot be a current home owner (or be named on the deeds of another property). You must not have any outstanding credit issues (i.e. unsatisfied defaults or county court judgements). Once you have done this, you will then progress through three easy steps.
