SHARED OWNERSHIP FOR OLDER PERSONS Some Shared Ownership properties are built specifically for older people who may be looking to buy a smaller property. In the same way as standard Shared Ownership, you buy an initial share that you can afford, helping you get into home ownership in manageable stages. However, the main difference is the maximum share you can ever own through OPSO is 75%. The Housing Association or Registered Provider will offer initial shares of between 40% - 75% of the full purchase price. You pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share that the Housing Association or Registered Provider still own. In the future you can simply sell your share for its value at the time or alternatively you can purchase further shares in your home up to a maximum, if you choose to buy the maximum 75%, you will pay no rent on the remaining 25%. Am I eligible? + + If you are applying for a standard OPSO scheme: + + You must be aged over 55 + + Your annual household income can be no more than 80,000. + + You will need to sell any existing property owned before buying through OPSO. + + You must not have any outstanding credit issues (i.e. unsatisfied defaults or county court judgments).
