Details
The Right to Shared Ownership does not apply to rented homes funded by the Social and Affordable Homes Programme 2026 to 2036 but it does apply to most rented homes funded by the Affordable Homes Programme 2021 to 2026.
Using the Right to Shared Ownership scheme you can purchase an equity stake in your current rented home worth between 10% and 75% of its full market value.
You may be eligible to use the Right to Shared Ownership scheme if you are a housing association tenant (or tenant of another Registered Provider of Social Housing that is not a local authority, co-operative housing association or Community Land Trust).
This booklet describes how the Right to Shared Ownership scheme works today. The information in it applies to England only. We have tried to make it easy to understand – but it is not a substitute for professional advice.
