Find out the latest about shared ownership and how to prepare for new rules and responsibilities.

Shared ownership isn’t simple. It can be a complex and confusing tenure for residents to understand, and a challenging service for housing providers to deliver. And it is not getting any easier.

With new rules and responsibilities coming into force, this workshop takes a practical look at the implications and how you can deliver the best service for residents and the organisation.

Find out about the major changes proposed to the Shared Ownership model – what units they apply to, their likely impact and what you need to do to prepare, including:

  • Reducing the minimum initial share that can be purchased from 25% to 10%
  • The introduction of the option of staircasing in 1% increments for the first 15 years; larger shares can still be purchased with the minimum reducing from 10% to 5%
  • The introduction of a 10-year period during which the costs of some maintenance or repairs will be met by the landlord rather than the shared owner, along with the introduction of an annual £500 repairs allowance for shared owners that can be used to pay for some repairs
  • The option for the shared owner to end the nomination period at the four-week point if they wish to pursue a sale on the open market rather than the previous eight week period.
