Properties may be sold off-plan or new build direct from housing associations, or pre-owned from existing shared owners. The rules and terms of the scheme are set by the Greater London Authority (GLA) in London and Homes England outside of London.<br/> <br/><b>IS SHARED OWNERSHIP FOR YOU ?</b><br/>The GLA and Homes England set the eligibility criteria for Shared Ownership, but broadly speaking you must:<br/>1.
