BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Comparing shared ownership with a whole-property purchase.

The Milton Keynes local-authority snapshot below is for whole-property purchases. Do not compare a price for a shared ownership share directly with that figure. Work with both the full valuation and the share price, then identify the deposit and mortgage needed for the share you are buying.

Shared ownership normally adds rent on the landlord’s share and may include service charges. Ask how charges can change and what costs apply if you later buy a larger share or sell. For a new-build purchase, also check the reservation terms, incentives and mortgage-offer expiry.

Use this historical snapshot to frame questions about your shortlist, not to value a home or calculate what you can borrow. Actual property price, lender valuation, deposit, income and commitments need their own assessment.

CHECK THE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY

Useful checks, before an offer.

Use these original sources to investigate your shortlist. Your conveyancer and surveyor should advise on the property; a mortgage adviser assesses borrowing and lender requirements.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Good to know.

Can shared ownership rent affect lender affordability?

Yes. The rent, service charges and other recurring payments are relevant alongside the mortgage repayment.

Is a product transfer the same as remortgaging?

No. A product transfer changes the deal with the existing lender, whereas remortgaging usually means a new mortgage, possibly with a different lender.
