Popular Shared Ownership Scenarios in York
Our team aim to provide a high standard level of service that allows you to comprehend what is going on throughout your mortgage journey by keeping the mortgage jargon to a minimum so you can get what the scheme is all about. Below we listed several popular FAQs regarding Shared Ownership in York.
Do I need a deposit?
Some customers are under the impression that they do not need to put down a deposit for a Shared Ownership in York. This is incorrect, you will need to put down some form of a deposit for a Shared Ownership.
The Shared Ownership scheme let you own a percentage of the property. The percentage you own is calculated in the amount of deposit you put down. For example, if your property was valued at £300,000 and you wanted to buy 50% of the share, you will be expected to put down a deposit of £150,000.
Likewise, if you put down a small deposit like 5%, your £150,000 would be on a 95% loan-to-value.
We like to remind all customers that the deposit you put down, the more deals that will be on offer to you and your potential mortgage payments will be much lower.
Can I increase my share of the property?
If you were looking to do this, this would be called ‘staircasing’ as you are slowly raising the share you own at any time.
For example, if you are only in ownership of 25% of the property to begin with, in the future you can purchase a further 25% should it be affordable in the future.
When doing this, you will find that you will be making lower amounts on your rental costs because you are increasing your share, but we tend to find your mortgage payments will keep constant.
Are there additional fees that come with Shared Ownership in York?
When you are taking out a mortgage under the Shared Ownership Scheme in York, you will be paying off a mortgage, and other rental fees at the same time. As the property is leasehold you will be paying background rent and service charges too.
