A Guide to Selling your Shared Ownership Property and Back-to-Back Staircasing
Shared ownership is an alternative home ownership scheme. It allows prospective buyers to purchase a share of a property (this will usually be between 25% and 75%) and pay rent on the remaining share. The remaining share of the property is owned by a housing association. It can be beneficial in assisting prospective buyers on the housing ladder, by reducing the upfront costs (i.e. a lesser deposit is required at the outset) for the purchase of a property, and overall monthly expenses.
What happens on the day of completion?
When you instruct us to act on your sale and purchase, we will be in frequent contact throughout the transaction, helping you along the way and explaining each step. A lot of work takes place in the lead up to completion of the transaction. If you are selling this is the day you hand over your keys to the buyer, and if you are buying this is the day you can collect the keys from your seller.
