What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a government-backed scheme that allows you to buy a share of a property (between 25%-75%) and pay rent on the remaining share. Over time, you can “staircase” to buy more shares, eventually owning 100% of the property.

Key Features:

Lower Deposit Requirements: Pay a deposit only on the share you purchase.
Affordable Monthly Payments: Combination of mortgage payments and reduced rent.
Staircasing: Option to increase your ownership over time.
Ideal for First-Time Buyers: Designed to make homeownership more accessible.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ravi at Home Guru has been brilliant for our remortgage in Hayes. He found us a deal for our first mortgage and now again for the remortgage - and there’s no charge to us, it’s free.  We provided some details on a call and then it was all sorted for us.  We will come back to Home Guru again for our mortgages because Ravi makes it easy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently worked with Home Guru as my mortgage broker, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the very beginning, Ravi was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process. He took the time to understand my financial situation and what I was looking for, then explained all my options clearly without any pressure. What stood out most was how responsive he was-always quick to answer my questions and keep me updated at every stage. Thanks to Ravi's expertise, I was able to secure a mortgage deal that suited my needs and budget much better than I expected. I would highly recommend Ravi to anyone looking for a mortgage broker who is reliable, transparent, and genuinely committed to helping their clients.
