Put simply, shared ownership is a cross between buying and renting a home. You buy a share of the property, usually between a quarter and three quarters, and then rent the part you don’t own at a reduced rate. You then have the option to buy a bigger share in the property in future.
If you'd like to learn more about our Shared Ownership offer, or any of the Shared Ownership homes we currently have available, please call our (Bolton at Home's) Development Team on 01204 329922.

We do this through a mix of housing tenures, including Shared Ownership.
Offering homes for Shared Ownership provides more choice for our customers and is a great option for those looking to get a foot on the property ladder.
We'll still be developing other new build schemes for Affordable Rent and Rent to Buy**, and you can learn more about these by tapping here: www.boltonathome.org.uk/new-build-developments. Please note that many of our new housing developments include a mixture of homes for Affordable Rent, Rent to Buy, and/or Shared Ownership.

The developments are still led internally by our Bolton at Home Development Team and are still part of our organisation. Having a different name is simply a way to differentiate our Shared Ownership schemes when marketing them to potential customers. It helps us show that this is a different type of housing tenure, and is standard practice within the housing sector.
