Shared Ownership in Greater Manchester

Finding your first home might seem like a daunting process, that’s why here at Property Booking we aim to make your search for property through shared ownership in Greater Manchester as effortless as possible. 

Shared Ownership, sometimes known as part-buy part-rent, is a Government-backed scheme which enables you to buy a share of a new property. The share you buy is usually between 25% and 75%. You then pay a low, subsidised rent on the remaining share you don’t own.

This means that the amounts you need for a deposit and for your mortgage repayments are significantly lower than if you were buying outright. You borrow only what you can afford to repay.
