Shared Ownership Week - 25 September to 1 October 2024

Shared Ownership Week aims to inform people how shared ownership can enables them to get a foot on the property ladder or stay on the property ladder.

Shared ownership is an affordable housing product which enables you to get a foot on the property ladder or stay on the property ladder.

Shared ownership enables you to enjoy the benefits of owning a home without having to pay the whole cost up front, trying to save for a large deposit or having to secure a large, standard mortgage.

The scheme enables you to buy a 25% or more share in your new home with the option to purchase more shares up to 100% and a deposit as low as 5%*; there will be a rent and service charge applicable on the remaining share in your shared ownership home.

This year we’re celebrating 30 years of Progress Housing Group and we are proud of our history and our work to provide high quality homes, supporting independence and creating opportunities.

Here are some interesting facts and figures on our shared ownership properties:

  • Our first shared ownership development was built in 2006 in Chorley.
  • We own and manage 384 shared-ownership homes across the UK, of which 24 are supported living shared-ownership homes.
  • We sold 49 shared ownership homes in 2023/24.
