Shared Ownership Remortgages
Valemortgages.co.uk can arrange remortgages for shared ownership clients.
All the lenders we use offer remortgages to acquire more shares or buy out a partner. Only a few offer this facility where there has been some adverse credit history.
We have schemes that will allow you to remortgage up to 100% of your share and any level of adverse credit is acceptable from none to unlimited. The maximum remortgage for debt consolidation is 75% of share where there is no adverse credit or 65% of share with unlimited adverse credit (mortgagee protection clause not required for these). Don't let the housing association refuse approval for this!
We have years of experience in arranging adverse credit shared ownership remortgages.
Think carefully before securing other debts against your home. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
What is shared ownership housing?
Shared-ownership is a great way into home ownership. If you can't afford to buy outright, you can part buy and part rent your home.
You might buy a 25%, 50% or 75% share in your home. You pay a small rent on the share that you don't buy. The bigger the share that you purchase, the less rent you have to pay. The monthly cost of buying a 50% share is about two-thirds of what you would pay on a mortgage if you bought the property outright. When you can afford to do so, you can buy more shares until you own your home outright.
Who can buy shared ownership housing?
Shared ownership housing schemes are usually intended for people who cannot afford to buy a suitable home in any other way. Applicants must usually be in housing need and be unable to afford outright purchase.
Priority will often be given to people on local authority or housing association waiting lists.
However, when a new housing scheme is developed that includes shared-ownership homes for sale, housing associations often have to work hard initially to sell the shared ownership properties. This is because, when the new homes are first available the association usually has a number of homes available for sale all at one time. Consequently, if you are interested in shared ownership housing don't be put off by the bureaucracy. Apply to the local authority or a housing association that offers shared ownership housing in your area as soon as possible.
You don't have to find a new housing development to be able to buy a shared ownership property. When shared owners want to move home, their property will either be offered to the housing association to find a buyer, or will be advertised in the local estate agents.
