Mortgage Advice for Shared Ownership in Manchester

The Shared Ownership Scheme allows you to take out a mortgage on a smaller percentage of a property, while the remaining percentage is owned by the local authority or builder. The average you’ll have to purchase is somewhere between 25-75% share of the property, but some lenders may allow going as little as 10%.

 

Since you’ll own a small percentage of the property, you are required to pay a monthly rental fee to the proprietor of the remaining shares. Since all Shared Ownership homes are classified as leasehold, you are required to pay ground and service charges.

Popular Scenarios for Shared Ownership in Manchester

We frequently get questions and enquiries from a customer wanting information regarding the Shared Ownership scheme in Manchester. below we listed some of the most popular questions our Mortgage Advisors in Manchester get asked repeatedly.

Do I need a deposit?

We tend to find some customers are under the belief that they will not need to put down a deposit for a Shared Ownership in Manchester. This is false, you will need to put down a deposit for this mortgage type. Almost every mortgage type out there require some form of a deposit to put down.

 

How the shared ownership works are, 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.

Can I increase my share of the property?

This type of practice is known as staircasing. This is when a homeowner can raise the share they own, at any time.

 

If you are only in ownership of 25% of the property initially, you will have the option, to purchase a further 25%, should it be affordable in the future.

 

Increasing your share will lead to making lower amounts on your rental costs, though your mortgage payments will stay the same.

Are there any other fees that come with Shared Ownership in Manchester?

When taking out a Shared Ownership in Manchester, make sure to be aware that you are paying off both a mortgage and rental fees simultaneously. At the same time, you will be paying background rent and service charges because as we said Shared Ownership homes are leasehold.
