Shared Ownership part buy part rent properties are leasehold.
There’s plenty of views around this. If you’ve researched shared ownership, you may already know this. It’s important to understand exactly what this means. When purchasing a shared ownership property, you enter a leasehold. Yes, you have a mortgage and own part of the property, but you’re technically also a tenant to the housing association you’ve purchased your share from.
There has been plenty of discussion about the terminology around shared ownership. However, if you are buying a home outright with a mortgage you could say you are a part owner too as you are paying off the mortgage. Perhaps, only when you own 100% of the property you can call yourself a homeowner.
Depending on the rules set out by the housing association you’ve purchased your shared ownership property from, you may not be able to freely decorate. It’s entirely dependent on the organisation, and some are more than happy to let you redesign your dream home. It’s an important question to ask when searching for your property and ensure it’s within documentation before starting any grand designs. As we said earlier in the blog, it is so important to do your research to see if it is right for you.
You can increase the shares that you own as you can afford to do so, a process known as ‘staircasing’. In most cases you can buy 100% and own the property outright. Please be aware that valuation fees occur when buying additional shares.
Unless you’ve established a clause in your leasehold, you’re responsible to maintain the home regardless of your shares. You will likely have to pay a service charge to maintain the communal areas, and your housing association may have preferred contacts. Also, if there is an issue with the boiler it is likely to be your responsibility to pay to fix. However, you need to check this with the housing association you are looking to become a shared owner with. They all have their own criteria which can differ slightly from one another. It’s important to look into insurance options so you don’t face an unaffordable bill.
Depending on your personal situation, there are some options when it comes to paying stamp duty. You can either:
If you decide to pay in stages, you down owe anymore tax until you reach 80% of shares. Full advice and how much you can expect to pay can be found on the GOV.UK website.
Staircasing involves buying more shares in your home when you can afford to, and you can work your way up to own the full 100% – making it your own home! Bear in mind, some housing associations may not allow this, and you should check before entering an agreement. You’ll need to involve a solicitor and mortgage advisor, find out more advice on our blog piece about Staircasing.
Just because you own shares, doesn’t mean you can’t sell your home! The process of selling a shared ownership property is not the same as a regular property, due to it being a share. There’s plenty of insight available on how the process works, including when we previously discussed Can I Sell A Shared Ownership Property with an Estate Agent?
