A Guide to Buying Shared Ownership Property in Sussex
Buying through shared ownership is slightly different to a traditional purchase, but the process is clear once you understand how it works.
Most buyers begin by exploring available homes and speaking with a specialist to understand what’s available and whether they meet the eligibility criteria. Once you’ve found a home, you purchase a share of the property (often between 25% and 75%) and pay rent on the remaining share.
The process then moves through reservation, mortgage application and legal work, with completion aligned to the development timeline.
One of the key benefits of shared ownership is flexibility. Over time, many buyers choose to increase their share in the property. a process known as staircasing, eventually owning a larger percentage or, in some cases, the home outright.
Our role is to guide you through each stage, helping you understand the process, your options and what to expect, so you can move forward with confidence.
Shared Ownership FAQs
Buying a shared ownership home can raise a number of questions. Here are some of the ones our team is often asked.
What is shared ownership and how does it work?
Shared ownership allows you to buy a percentage of a property while paying rent on the remaining share. Over time, you may be able to increase your ownership through staircasing.
Who is eligible for shared ownership in Sussex?
Eligibility is usually based on income, local connection and whether you’re a first-time buyer or no longer own a home. Requirements can vary depending on the development.
We can help you understand whether you’re likely to qualify based on your circumstances.
Do I need a deposit for shared ownership?
Yes, but your deposit is based on the share you’re buying rather than the full property value, which can make it more accessible than a traditional purchase.
Can I buy more of my home later?
In most cases, yes. This is known as staircasing and allows you to increase your share over time, sometimes up to full ownership.
Are shared ownership homes cheaper than buying outright?
They can be more accessible upfront, as you’re purchasing a smaller share. Monthly costs will include both your mortgage and rent, so it’s important to understand the full picture.
We can help you compare what’s available and what works best for your budget.
Can I sell a shared ownership home?
Yes. When you decide to sell, there is usually a nomination period where the housing provider can help find a buyer, after which the home can be marketed more widely.
Are there shared ownership homes available in Brighton, Hove and across Sussex?
Yes. Shared ownership homes are available across Brighton, Hove, Lewes, Shoreham-by-Sea and the wider Sussex region, although availability can vary depending on current developments.
