Shared Ownership Options on New Homes in Greater Manchester

If you’re considering buying a new house in Greater Manchester, we understand that the price can be a major hurdle to achieving this goal. One way to get around this is to consider a shared ownership home. This way, you can buy a share in a new home that you can afford, therefore needing a smaller deposit. You’ll pay rent on the share that you don’t own.

You will then have the option of buying the home in full further down the line, when you have had time to save more money or if your circumstances change.

Affordability Calculator

A quick way to check whether you are able to afford the monthly cost of a new home in Greater Manchester is by inputting a few details into our simple affordability calculator. Simply adjust the share percentage and the full market value of the property, and add the deposit amount, mortgage term and rate.
