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.
Shared Ownership can be a complicated scheme, so it may be advantageous to seek advice from a mortgage advisor in Liverpool who understand the shared ownership process. You can easily schedule a free mortgage appointment through our website by clicking on the ‘Get Started’ button.
Our team will help you to determine your eligibility for a Shared Ownership in Liverpool, before you are able to use it. If you are unable to meet the criteria, you may be better suited for checking out the Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme.

During your appointment with the mortgage advisor in Liverpool, they will evaluate your income and expenditure to determine your eligibility for a Shared Ownership mortgage in Liverpool, as well as assess your mortgage affordability.
Our team will conduct a search of 1000 mortgage products to identify the most suitable option for you. We will also assist you in obtaining a mortgage agreement in principle, which can strengthen any new build offers you make.
Once your purchase offer is accepted, we will submit your complete mortgage application and supporting documents to the lender.
Throughout this process, your dedicated case manager will keep you informed of progress, from mortgage offer to completion and beyond.
Our service extends beyond simply securing the best mortgage deal for you. We also offer recommendations for insurance policies that will protect you and your loved ones.
Additionally, we will notify you when your mortgage deal expires to ensure that you are always on the best deal available.
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.
The Shared Ownership Scheme is only able to be used on selected properties that are owned by housing associations or builders. It is also sometimes the case that a property may have specifically been built with this scheme in mind.
A trusted and dedicated Mortgage Advisor in Liverpool will be able to explain the details of the Shared Ownership Scheme to you. Book your free mortgage appointment today and get started on the process of a Shared Ownership in Liverpool.
