Making a dream a reality for single buyers.
Co-ownership were very helpful and helped make my dream a reality of owning my first home at over 50 years. I was happy to take myself off the council housing list that I've been on for 20 years on a zero award. They made the process seem effortless and the compassion for individual circumstances was evident in the process. All the information is online or at the end of a phone-call or email on how to co-own your home with co-ownership. I would never have afforded my new build home without them. After renting run down homes for 30 years, it was such a joy to get my new build home. Buying a new home is stressful but co-ownership halved the stress because my repayments were far less with co-ownership than with a traditional mortgage. No matter how well you budget and account for buying for your new home, it will always cost more than you anticipated, rarely less. So having someone in the process that has no hidden costs can help enormously. Thank you co-ownership!

My wife and I purchased our first home with the help of co-ownership, was a really great experience with no really worries or issues. We enquired online, went in for a meeting to chat about affordability and how co-ownership all worked. Once we applied we were accepted in less than a week (if I can remember correctly), supplied all documents needed which again wasn’t anything unexpected.
Once we had sale agreed, the estate agent took over and with our solicitor co-ownership sorted everything out on their side for us. If we did have any questions we could call and have an answer straight away which was fantastic to see.
Overall it was a great experience, friendly and professional staff and couldn’t recommend them enough. We were finding it difficult to save for a 10% deposit with how high our rent was, and if anyone else is in a similar position I would really encourage you to look into the scheme.

My experience with co/ownership
Was happy with initial contact with yourselves but as time got closer to completion, there was more demand of me. Such as getting a deposit for a mortgage. I was told from the beginning of this process that zero deposit was required. Which give me more money to use when I eventually moved into my new home. Which in my case wasn't to be. Overall was happy with the process but for such a hefty outlay. Thank you.
