Shared ownership is a unique way to step onto the property ladder — but it comes with a few more legal complexities than a standard purchase. That’s why you need a conveyancer who knows the process inside out.

At JM Conveyancing, we specialise in shared ownership. We understand the fine print, the lenders’ requirements, and the rules around staircasing (buying more of your home later). Most importantly, we’ll walk you through it all clearly and calmly — no jargon, no overwhelm.

A confident guiding hand when you need it.

Shared ownership lets you buy a percentage of a property — typically from a housing association or registered social landlord (RSL) — and pay rent on the remaining share. It’s designed to help people who may not be able to buy a home outright.

Over time, you may be able to buy more shares in the property (a process called staircasing) and eventually own it outright.

Because these properties are usually leasehold and often come with additional lender criteria and legal terms, shared ownership requires a more specialist approach than standard conveyancing.

We’ve handled many shared ownership transactions over the years and know how to avoid the common pitfalls that can cause delays or confusion. Whether you’re buying your first share or staircasing to full ownership, we’ll make the process smooth, stress-free, and fully explained at every step.
