I wrote this piece in August 2021 while working on a contract with a Mortgage Brokers company in Buckinghamshire.

It is a long form blog post about Staircasing in the Property industry and appeared on another industry leading website.

Excerpt:

Find out about buying more shares in your part-buy part-rent home

For buyers unable to enter the housing and property market by ‘conventional’ means, when Shared Ownership was introduced by the government in the 1980s it became a viable alternative route to home ownership.

By giving first time buyers the chance to purchase a share in a new build housing association property, Shared Ownership helped many buyers onto the property ladder at a time when house prices were increasing, and first time buyers were struggling.

In 2021, Shared Ownership is still a popular route into the property/homeowner market and many first time buyers favour this option of buying 25-75% of a property, paying rent on the rest and eventually staircasing their way to (in some cases) full 100% ownership.

Here, Milton Keynes mortgage brokers Visionary Finance help you to negotiate the staircasing maze and answer the main questions we get asked along the way.
