* The full market value of this home is £150000 but with shared ownership, you could purchase an initial 75% share for just £112500 and pay a monthly rent on the remaining share. If you're buying with a mortgage you may only need a deposit of 5% of the amount you borrow, meaning your deposit could be as low as £5625.

Shared ownership gives you the opportunity to get your foot on the property ladder at a price you can afford

You qualify for shared ownership if you:

• Have a household income of under £80,000 (less than £90,000 in London)

• Don’t currently own your home and can’t afford to on the open market

• Can afford the minimum deposit

• Pass an affordability check to make sure you can get a mortgage
