Shared Ownership allows you to buy a portion of a property and pay rent on the remaining share. This can be a great option if you can’t afford to buy a home outright.
How Shared Ownership Works:
Eligibility Criteria:
Common Misconceptions:
Deposit Unlock is designed for first-time buyers and home movers, allowing you to purchase a new-build home with just a 5% deposit while accessing competitive mortgage rates.
How Deposit Unlock Works:
Eligibility Criteria:
Common Misconceptions:
"It’s only for first-time buyers."
Truth: The scheme is open to home movers as well.
"I’ll pay higher rates because of the low deposit."
Truth: Competitive rates are available through participating lenders.
Right to Buy helps eligible council and housing association tenants purchase their rented home at a discounted price.
How Right to Buy Works:
Eligibility Criteria:
Common Misconceptions:
Some schemes may still be available to applicants with a poor credit history, depending on the lender's criteria. We can guide you through your options.
Generally, schemes are designed to be used separately. We’ll help identify the most suitable scheme based on your situation.
You can sell your share at any time. The housing association usually has the right to find a buyer first, but you can sell on the open market after a set period.
There is no set limit, but staircasing to 100% ownership may depend on the housing association's terms. We can work with you to check the possibilities and guide you through the process.
Timelines vary, but we work to ensure the process is as efficient as possible. Having the right documents ready can help speed things up.

We understand that from time to time our clients may find themselves dealing with circumstances that could mean they are potentially vulnerable. For example, a change in health, caring for a family member, or coping with the loss of a loved one. There are many different types of vulnerability, and what makes one person vulnerable might not affect someone else. When we are vulnerable, our need for financial advice may change. However, admitting vulnerability or seeking help can sometimes feel hard.
If this is something you would like to discuss with us, please ask for a copy of our support guide or download a copy here. This guide is designed to help explain vulnerability and the ways in which we might be able to support you. If you feel any of the circumstances in the brochure apply to you, please talk to us
