First reported Story Sources

A report published by Shared Ownership Resources in September took a long term view on why shared owners sell their homes, challenges for resale and why buyback might sometimes be the best, or only, option.  It called for a clear, fair and mandatory framework to:

  • Support improved access to and exit from shared ownership homes
  • Reduce the loss of social housing to the open market
  • Restore public confidence in shared ownership.
