Who can buy through the shared ownership scheme?
The scheme is intended for people who cannot afford to buy a suitable home in any other way. They 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 local authority or housing associations’ waiting lists.
Although you have not bought the property outright, you will have the normal rights and responsibilities of a full owner-occupier.
