We are one of these companies and have a track record of arranging funds for clients on shared ownership mortgages with social landlords dating back to 1990 when they were few and far between.

Shared Ownership Remortgages
Once you have made that initial percentage purchase on a shared ownership mortgage it is recommended that you attempt to purchase further shares in the property as soon as you can comfortably afford to do so, this is to maximise on any increase that the property market might be encountering at that time. We always recommend you read the full terms & conditions and small print on such arrangements and seek qualified legal or conveyancing advice, we are also always happy to assist in providing outline information to you.
