@insidehousing Shared owners certainly need more clarity. The government's recently published 'Leasehold tookit' to explain leasehold reform made no mention of SO. Hence our Open Letter calling for a 'Leasehold toolkit for shared owners'.

[UK House of Commons Committees @HoCcommitteesUK]

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.

@insidehousing The probe also revealed flaws and omissions in draft legislation when it comes to shared ownership. Hence our Open Letter to MHCLG calling for shared owners not to be excluded from key benefits of ongoing leasehold and commonhold reform.

[Shared Ownership Resources @ResourcesShared]

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.

@LovellPropguru @LostInSW19 @HomesEngland And that’s the point really. Shared owners are required to have a RICS valuation, have no right to the kind of conversation you had with your valuer, plus they’re liable to pay over any difference. It’s not the variation at issue; it’s the lack of control over the resale price.

[Shared Ownership Resources @ResourcesShared]

@Estateagentpow1 Thanks for asking. Shared ownership is an expensive way of purchasing a home, compared to buying outright. Per the My SO Home review below.

@judeinlondon People are told it’s government-backed, affordable and delivered by charitable bodies. So they place trust in the marketing claims. But it’s not the full picture, @judeinlondon. We challenge the ads and provide essential info for shared owners / homebuyers
