Shared Ownership provides an affordable way to buy a home. Simply purchase a share in a brand-new home and pay a subsidised rent on the remaining. In the future, if you wish, you can usually buy further shares until you own your home outright

The initial share you buy will usually be between 25% and 75% of the full purchase price and is tailored to suit your circumstances, meaning it is not only affordable for you now, but in the future too.

A variety of homes may be available from studio apartments right through to large family homes.

Often there is a frustration with new developments that new homes do not go to existing residents in the local area first and foremost. One of the key benefits of the proposals for Little Shepham is that priority will be given to local residents in need of affordable housing meaning they will have the opportunity to access the housing first.

Orbit is keen to ensure that new homes go to local residents in need first and foremost.
