How to sell my home

If you're a shared owner, you can sell your home at any time. And we're here to help.

Once you've decided to sell, you’ll need to get your home valued by a RICS qualified surveyor and get an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Whilst we can't recommend a particular firm, the following have experience in valuing shared ownership homes:

Tell us you want to sell your home

The next step is to contact our sales team as we have up to 8 weeks (depending on the terms of your lease) to find you a buyer. Simply complete our property details form. You'll need to upload photographs of your home, so we've put together a handy photo guide for advice on taking perfect shots. You'll also need to upload your valuation and EPC. 

Once we receive your completed form and relevant documents, we'll carry out a few important checks, including:

• Remaining time on lease
• Local connection and requirements
• Staircasing restrictions.

We'll then create your property brochure, which we'll send to you for approval. Once approved, we’ll start marketing your home. Your home will be advertised on our website and on Share to Buy.

If we can't find a buyer within the 8 weeks, you'll then also be able to sell your home privately or through an estate agent.

Who arranges viewings?

Interested buyers will contact you directly to arrange a convenient date and time for a viewing.

What happens when I find a buyer?

The buyer will need to complete a financial assessment with one of our mortgage advisors.

How long will it take?

We’ll take care of marketing your home for up to eight weeks (depending on the terms of your lease).

We will advertise your home on the relevant websites and social media platforms.

If we are unable to find a buyer within this time, we will continue to market your home but you will then also be able to approach an estate agent to provide additional marketing support.

How much will it cost?

Usually around 1% (+VAT) of the share you are selling (as stated in your lease).
