Shared Ownership Scheme - The Shared Ownership scheme offers a pathway to homeownership by allowing individuals to purchase a share of a property while renting the remainder. Buyers can initially acquire a share ranging from 10% to 75%, with the specific percentage determined by an assessment of their circumstances* and subject to additional eligibility criteria. Homeowners have the opportunity to increase their ownership share through a process known as 'staircasing,' which allows them to acquire up to a maximum of 80%†.

In addition to their mortgage, shared owners pay rent to Castles and Coasts on the portion they do not own. This rent is calculated at 2.75% of the unsold equity per annum, payable monthly and reviewed annually.

Local Occupancy - All homes in the Summerscales development are subject to local occupancy criteria.

How To Apply - To apply, please visit our website at and complete the initial shared ownership and local occupancy eligibility check.

Application Process:
1. Complete the Eligibility Form: Fill out the initial shared ownership and local occupancy eligibility form on our website.
2. Review by Our Team: Our new homes team will review your submission and confirm the outcome of the initial eligibility check.
3. Stage One Assessment and Provisional Offer: If you qualify, you will be invited to complete an online form with our third-party mortgage advisor, who will carry out a Stage One affordability assessment. This step will confirm whether you meet the Shared Ownership allocations policy requirements and provide an indication of your affordability and the share you can purchase.
4. Stage Two Assessment: Upon passing the Stage One eligibility and affordability assessment, you will be asked if you would like to complete a Provisional Offer Form for the property and proceed to the Stage Two detailed affordability assessment. You will have 10 working days to complete this assessment and obtain a Mortgage in Principle.
5. Formal Offer: Once the Stage Two affordability assessment is successfully completed, the exact share you can purchase will be determined. You will then be invited to submit a Formal Offer to purchase the property. At this point, a reservation fee of £500 is payable, and a Reservation Form/Memorandum of Sale will be issued. The property will be reserved for a period of 3 months, during which contracts must be exchanged.

In the event of multiple qualifying applications for the same plot, acceptance will be determined based on the earliest Provisional Offer date and time for that specific plot.

Please note: If no applications are received from individuals meeting the specified local occupancy criteria within 31 calendar days of the start of the marketing period, the geographic scope of eligibility will be broadened.
