Later on, you could buy more shares of your new home when you can afford to and, if you chose, own the property outright. Monthly costs to purchase a home via Shared Ownership are generally less than purchasing outright or renting, making it a fantastic option to get onto the housing ladder.</p><p><strong>Eligibility Criteria:</strong></p><p>Priority will be given to applicants with a live/work or family connection to the Parish of Alton or East Hampshire District.
