Londoners To Get 'First Dibs' In Proposed Shared Ownership Scheme

The Labour candidate for London's mayoral election has said he plans to roll-out a shared ownership scheme with Londoners getting "first dibs". Sadiq Khan said he would offer potential owners the chance to buy 25-75% of a property with the rest paid off in rent. Earlier he announced 50% of new housing built on public land would be designated as affordable if elected. Mr Khan said he wanted to utilise such land for shared-ownership properties which would enable him to control the level of rent making it as little as £400 a month with an average deposit of £5,200 in outer London.
