Shared Ownership is marketed as affordable housing.
What's not mentioned in the marketing:
Rent on the unsold equity escalates every year (can easily double over 15 years).
Service charges compound hard — up 55% nationally, 64% in London in a decade.
You’re still liable for 100% of repairs on a home you only part-own.

The Renters’ Rights Act introduces important new benefits for shared owners, but also brings added complexity. What’s changed and what could it mean for shared ownership households?

The Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee has published its report on the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill. The government must go further and faster to address the problems with leasehold.

Per our quote in the @insidehousing feature, below, we've published an Open Letter to the Minister of State for Housing & Planning calling for a leasehold toolkit for shared owners, and for shared owners not to be excluded from benefits of ongoing leasehold and commonhold reform.

Today's @CommonsHCLG report highlights flaws and omissions in draft legislation when it comes to shared ownership. Consequently we have published an Open Letter to @mtpennycook calling for shared owners not to be excluded from benefits of ongoing reform.

New Leasehold toolkit published by @mhclg to build awareness, understanding and confidence in changes introduced by leasehold and commonhold reform.
No mention of shared ownership though.
Can we expect an SO toolkit anytime soon?

Today we said goodbye to legendary housing solicitor Giles Peaker of @nearlylegal fame in the countryside just outside of Stevenage.
As online conversations about housing become more febrile, his knowledge, enormous wit and ability to disagree agreeably (most of the time) will be horribly missed.
Apt to Tweet farewell, as he met and brought so many people together on this app.
Wonderful words from @justinbates28 too ❤️
