What is Shared Ownership?
While it might seem a bit complicated at first, shared ownership is actually pretty straightforward!
To put it very simply, shared ownership allows you to buy a share of your ideal Avant home and pay an affordable monthly rent repayment on the remaining part.
You decide how much of the home you would like to buy (up to 75% of the purchase price) and will then pay small monthly payments based on the remaining percentage.
You can buy your share either using cash from any savings you may have or by taking out a mortgage. If you are taking out a mortgage to finance your share, you will need to allow for a minimum of 5% deposit.
For example, if you want to buy 20% (£50,000) of a £250,000 property, you will only need to put down 5% (£2,500) of said £50,000.
