Shared Ownership is suitable for people with a regular income who would like to buy but cannot afford to do so in the usual way. Through shared ownership you can buy a share of the property and pay rent on the remaining share you do not own. Sometimes developers or housing associations offer different types of models but these will be explained to applicants at the time of sale. In order to be eligible you will need to be registered with South West Homes, information on which can be found in the 
Shared Ownership Leaflet [13kb].
