Shared Ownership in England: Buying a Share, Rent, Staircasing and Repairs

Shared ownership lets you buy part of a home and pay rent on the rest. This course explains who can apply in England, how the costs work, how to buy more shares (“staircasing”), and who is responsible for repairs, so you can judge whether it suits you.

This course gives general information about shared ownership in England as at November 2026. It is not legal, mortgage or financial advice. Each lease is different, so read your key information document and get independent legal and mortgage advice before buying.
