Social Landlord Launches 'Revolutionary' Shared Ownership Model

Thames Valley Housing has launched a new and "completely unique" shared ownership model which allows shared owners to own 1% more of their property each year. Shared Ownership PLUS requires a purchaser to pay an equity payment equivalent to 1% of the property’s value spread over 12 months which is added to the monthly mortgage, rent and service charge payments. The additional payment increases by 3% per annum after the first year. Shared owners can continue with the additional payments for up to 15 years, but can exit them at any point, retaining the increased equity, and reverting to a standard shared ownership lease. The payment is made to TVH and is kept separate from mortgage payments. Find out more on the TVH website.
