Co-Own is a shared ownership plan set up by a not-for-profit organisation, Co-Ownership. The main aim for Co-Ownership is to offer support in getting you on the property ladder in Northern Ireland. The idea of the ownership plan is that you buy a share of the property that you can afford and Co-Ownership will cover the rest.
We have property experts across the country who can talk you through everything you need to know about taking the Rent to Own route.
When you find the property you would like to purchase, with Co-Own you buy a share of the property depending on how much of a mortgage you can afford. This will be between 50% and 90% of the price. Co-Own will then buy the rest and over time you can increase your share of the property until you are the full owner. For the monthly payments, you will pay the usual mortgage payments as well as pay rent to Co-Ownership.
You can only purchase a property up to the value of £190,000 using the Co-Own shared ownership plan.
