Shared Ownership was introduced as a way to provide support to applicants who struggles to afford a full mortgage. The scheme involves an applicant purchasing a percentage of a mortgage, usually between 25%-75% of a property. In some cases, this can be as low as 10%.
Due to only paying a percentage, you will expect to pay rent to the Housing Association/Builder who are the owners of the remaining percentage of the property.
You will need to see if you are eligible for the scheme prior to accessing it. In the case where you don’t meet the criteria of the scheme, it might be best that you look into a different route.
If you require open and honest mortgage advice in Nottingham regarding the Shared Ownership Scheme. We recommend you check out our video below or continue down the page to see our Shared Ownership FAQs.
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.
While the term “shared ownership” includes the word “shared,” it doesn’t necessarily mean sharing the property with another person or household in the sense of cohabiting with someone. Instead, it means sharing ownership of the property with the housing association.
When you choose to buy a Shared Ownership home in Nottingham, you’re essentially acquiring a fraction of the property. Your initial ownership share typically falls within the range of 25% to 75%. You’ll be responsible for a mortgage on the part you own and will also pay below-market-value rent for the portion you don’t yet own.
While obtaining a Shared Ownership mortgage in Nottingham with bad credit can present additional challenges, it is not an insurmountable task. Similar to standard mortgages, your eligibility for a Shared Ownership mortgage will hinge on the extent of your bad credit history and the specific criteria set by the lender.

We find many customers are lead to believe that you are not expected to provide a deposit for a Shared Ownership mortgage, however, this is false. The majority and mortgage types and situations require you to put down a deposit.
A Shared Ownership mortgage requires you to take out a percentage of the property, so you will have to put down a deposit based on this amount. For example, an applicant takes out a 50% mortgage share on a property valued at £300,00, they will need to put down a deposit of £150,000. Whereas, an applicant who is putting down a 5% deposit will put down £7,500 instead of £15,000 if the applicant takes out a 95% mortgage on the property.
When taking out a Shared Ownership, you need to regard mortgage costs and your rent costs. The costs will be planned out as a regular monthly cost, like other mortgage payments. As well as this, you will be required to pay setup/arrangement fees which will be charged as a one-time payment.
Getting a property survey carried out can be beneficial too. This means you are well informed with any issues in the property that could be detrimental on the overall property value.
No, as there is a select number of properties that are only available with the Shared Ownership mortgage. These types of properties are owned by housing association or builders and in some cases are properties built with the scheme in mind.
