Selwood Housing
We're the Home ownership team of Selwood Housing, helping you find a shared ownership home you love in the south west.
Shared ownership is a great way of buying your own home, without having to find a huge deposit up front. You can buy a share of a property and pay low rent on the rest. This gives you a great alternative to renting, if you can’t afford to buy a home outright.
Whether you're looking for a home in the centre of town, or a rural location surrounded by beautiful countryside, the team are here to help. Discover the latest about our homes, and speak with the team today to start your shared ownership journey!
Shared ownership with Selwood Housing
Get ready to discover our shared ownership properties! We have a selection of new build and resale homes available to apply for now, as well as our homes coming soon.
Shared ownership is designed to give you the chance to buy a share of your own home if you cannot afford to purchase a home on the open market.
You will need to pay for your share of your home before you move in. You can either pay this in full or borrow it by taking out a mortgage. The good news is you don’t have to put down a huge deposit to secure your shared ownership mortgage – deposits can be as little as 5% of your share.
You can increase the number of shares you own at any time after you’ve moved in. This is known as ‘staircasing’ and means you can own more of your home when your finances and lifestyle change. Some properties have ‘restricted staircasing’ which is usually for properties purchased in rural areas. If applicable this would always be stated on our property listings, and you would be made aware and asked to sign to confirm your understanding of this at the point of reservation.
Our homes include flooring throughout, a rear turfed garden, integrated extractor hood, oven and hob, and on plot parking. For some of our new build homes, these have air source heat pumps and solar panels. This detail will be provided where applicable.
Once you've found a property you're interested in, complete the Share To Buy enquiry form and the team will be in touch!
The team will also send you a copy of our buyers guide which provides great step by step information about the application and purchasing processes, and answers the commonly asked questions.
