What is shared ownership?

Shared ownership is a government-backed scheme that allows you to buy a share of a home while paying a subsidised rent on the rest, with the option to purchase more shares when you can afford to. For first time buyers, it brings your first home within reach, and for families, it can make a bigger and better home a reality.
