So what exactly is shared ownership?
Shared ownership is when someone buys part of a property.
The listing reads: “Shared ownership provides an affordable way for you to become a home owner, by buying a share in a new home and paying a subsidised rent on the remaining share.
“You will then have the opportunity to purchase further shares in your home in the future up to 100 percent, which we call ‘staircasing’, as further shares are purchased the rent reduces accordingly.
According to Ross Counsell, director at Good Move, the relatively stable political situation brought on by the Tory party win, might lead to more significant growth in house prices for 2020.
When speaking about house prices for 2020, he said: “House prices grew incredibly slowly in 2019, with the political and economic uncertainty leading to rises of just one percent in England.
“There were larger increases in other areas of the UK, but the overall picture was bleak.
“While it is unlikely that house prices will suddenly spike in 2020, the relatively stable political situation brought on by the Conservative majority might lead to more significant growth.”
