What is Shared Ownership?

ISHA builds shared ownership homes in Hackney, Islington and Waltham Forest to help people become homeowners. Shared ownership helps those who can’t afford to buy a home on the open market

 

With our shared ownership homes you pay for a share of between 25% and 75% of the home’s value depending on the share we are offering on a particular development.

 

Once you purchase your share ISHA owns the remaining share of the value of your home on which you will pay a subsidised rent. Our initial annual rent is normally based on up to 2.75% of the value that you do not own. This means outgoings are lower than for the same property on the open market if you buy with a mortgage. As you buy more of the property, your rent will reduce.

 

Shared ownership properties are sold on a leasehold basis. The lease is normally up to 125 years. The lease sets out your rights and responsibilities, and those of the landlord. In some cases such as houses, if you eventually buy the entire property, you will be granted the freehold and the lease disappears although you may still have charges such as communal costs.
