Because you will only own a percentage of a property, you will also be required to pay a monthly rental fee to the owner of the remaining shares. Shared Ownership homes are always leasehold, which also means you’ll be paying ground and service charges.

A lot of the time we find that customers are under the impression that they will not need to put down a deposit for a Shared Ownership in Liverpool. The truth is though, that you will need to put down a deposit for this mortgage type. Almost every mortgage type will require you to put down a deposit.
With a Shared Ownership in Liverpool, your mortgage will be taken out on the percentage of the property you own. As such, your deposit will directly reflect this. For example, if your property was valued at £300,000 and you wanted to buy a 50% shared, you need to put down a deposit for the £150,000 you would be paying for.
If you put down only 5% deposit, your £150,000 would be on a 95% loan-to-value. If you can afford to put down more, you’ll have access to a wider range of mortgage deals and also lower your potential mortgage payments.
This type of practice is known as “staircasing”. It is where a homeowner can increase the share they own, at any time.
If you are only in ownership of 25% of the property initially, you will have the option, for example, to purchase a further 25%, should it be affordable in the future.
This will lower the amount of rental costs you will need to pay to the other party, though your mortgage payments will remain unchanged.
When taking out a Shared Ownership in Liverpool, you will need to be aware that you’ll be paying both mortgage and rental fees at the same time. In addition to this, you will also have to pay back ground rent and service charges. This is because all Shared Ownership homes are leasehold.
It is worthwhile making sure that you have a property survey taken out too. If there are any issues present with your potential future home, it is important that you know of these in advance. Anything you don’t look at could harm the properties value in a few years time. A dedicated mortgage advisor will advise you on the best survey to take.
