Selling your shared ownership home

Normally shared ownership leases include a clause allowing the shared owner’s landlord to find a buyer for their home within a set period of time (the period is different in different leases). If you are looking to move from your existing shared ownership home please contact us on 020 7209 9292.

Please note that we do charge a fee for this service but we do expect that this will be less than that charged by an estate agent.

The first step in selling your home is for us to arrange for your home to be valued by a qualified valuer (this ensures that the price is fair for both you and the purchaser).

Once the valuation has been received and you have confirmed that you wish to sell, the time period for us to find a buyer starts.

If we are unable to find a buyer in that time you are able to sell on the open market. If you are selling on the open market you can either:

look to sell outright (by doing a simultaneous staircasing and resale) or
to sell your existing share.

If you are looking to sell your share we will require the purchaser to complete an application form and be approved by us – this is to ensure that they meet our criteria for shared ownership.
