Who can buy through a shared ownership scheme?
Those who cannot afford to buy a suitable home in any other way. You must be in housing need and be unable to afford outright purchase. Priority will normally be given to existing public sector tenants or those on housing waiting lists.
Although you have not bought the property outright, you will have the normal rights and responsibilities of a full owner-occupier.
