Suitable for:       All What does this mean?

There are now around 200,000 shared ownership properties in management in the UK.   And the number is growing: the Housing Revenue borrowing cap has been lifted for local authorities; opportunities for development are now a real possibility, and that is likely to include shared ownership and more and more housing associations are entering the shared ownership market too.

Various schemes operate around the country, with a mixed reputation and differing levels of success. Make sure you’re fully up to speed with the latest best practice. This virtual course – delivered over Zoom on two consecutive mornings (9.30am to 1.00pm) – will cover everything you need to know from getting a scheme off the ground, marketing and selling properties effectively and day to day management. Understand what you need to do to comply with the new Shared Ownership Code and get up to speed on the requirements of Homes England’s revised model shared ownership lease.
