Co-Own is a shared ownership plan by Co-Ownership. In a nutshell, you and Co-Ownership buy a place together. You buy the share that you can afford, between 50% and 90%, and Co-Ownership cover the rest.
You pay the mortgage on your bit and pay Co-Ownership rent on their bit (did we mention that you don’t always need a deposit with Co-Own? Some lenders take Co-Ownerships share instead of a deposit). Because the rent set is lower than the market rate and the mortgage you need is smaller, your monthly repayments could be less than they would be if you’d bought it outright.
When you’re able to, you can increase your share in your home bit-by-bit until you own it all.
And don’t worry; just because Co-Ownerhsip have bought a place together doesn’t mean we’re moving in! It’s 100% your home.
If you decide to sell your home and move on, Co-Ownership will value your home. You will get the benefit of any increase in the value of your home due to improvements you have made and then the remaining value will be split between you and Co-Ownership, depending on the share that you own.
Since Co-Ownership was founded in 1978, they have helped over 30,000 people buy their first home, and they currently have over 9,000 Co-Owners.
