Shared Ownership

This is a flexible programme known as New Build Homebuy, or sometimes 'shared ownership' , set up especially to help first-time buyers or people who cannot afford to buy a home outright.

Some of our new houses are available to buy, rather than rent. These are usually offered at affordable prices.

You may choose to buy a 50% or 75% share in one of our new properties and pay the rest in rent. If you do this, you have the option of increasing the percentage you own when you are able to do so.

For more information please read the Shared Ownership brochure.

Who qualifies?

You could be eligible to benefit from New Build HomeBuy, if you are:

• A social housing tenant.
• On a housing waiting list.
• In need of a home because of a relationship breakdown.
• A first time buyer working in the area who is contributing to the economy.

Properties will be advertised in the local press, on our website and at www.my4walls.org.uk.

For an application form, contact the Homebuy agent My4Walls on 0113 243 6893 or visit www.my4walls.org.uk.
