Shared owners

As a shared owner, your rights and responsibilities are set out in detail within your lease, but as a general guide you are responsible for:

• Paying any service charge and rents
• Getting our written permission before carrying out any alterations to your home
• Maintaining and repairing the inside of your home, including fixtures and fittings
• Allowing our contractors access to your home to carry out any necessary repairs (we must give you enough notice in writing) or immediately in an emergency.

If you would like to increase the proportion of the property which you own, you can buy additional shares all the way up to 100% in some cases.  This process is known as staircasing.

If you would like to staircase you can notify us by completing this form.
