Shared ownership

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE

Key Features

  • Our current Standard Variable Rate is 6.29%
    Representative example:
    A mortgage of £80,600 payable over 25 years on a variable rate, currently 6.29%, would require 1 monthly payment of £909.45 and 298 monthly payments of £534.43. The total amount payable would be £160,809.59 made up of the loan amount plus interest (£79,569.59) and a mortgage application fee of £300 and a valuation fee of £340 (assuming a purchase price of £125,000).

What we lend on

We are experts in providing mortgages for shared ownership properties which are energy efficient. We consider properties or flats for our shared ownership mortgage - where the flats are in a building which has no more than 4 storeys.

Our mortgages are available in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Our standard of service

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has laid down detailed rules about the service we must offer on regulated residential mortgages.

C-Change discounts explained

As a building society with a unique mission to build a greener society, we lend on projects and properties that support our aims through their reduced impact on our environment. Making your home energy efficient is a major way you can support tackling climate change – while saving on your energy bills.

We reward borrowers whose properties are energy efficient (therefore have lower carbon emissions) with our C-Change discounts off our Variable Rate which helps them save money on their mortgage. We call our discounts ‘C-Change discounts’ simply because we’re aiming to make a ‘sea-change’ of difference to our climate with each property or project we fund.

The level of our C-Change sustainable homes or C-Change retrofit discount that applies is based on the Energy Standard rating achieved on the self-build, off-site build, renovation or conversion when the work is completed. Our C-Change energy improvements discount is based on the qualifying energy measures being installed. The discount is applied from the date we receive evidence that the work has been completed and if applicable the Energy Standard rating required has been achieved.

Energy efficiency criteria

Normally you will be purchasing a property that is already fully completed and to qualify for our mortgage the property must be classified as an energy efficient property. You will need to provide us with evidence that the property achieves one of the Energy Standards ratings  in the table below.
