We'll pay a part to get you on the property ladder in Dorset, with shared ownership.
We partner with you to share the cost of buying your own home – you pay for the part you can afford and we’ll pay for the part that’s left.
The Dorset coastline is probably best known for its World Heritage Site status and its Jurassic Coast, but it is also a notable Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With miles of blue flag sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, days out in Bournemouth, Poole, Swanage, Lyme Regis and Weymouth can all be enjoyed. Dorset has a variety of fantastic cuisine available, offering mouth-watering local produce including superb fresh seafood.
Bournemouth is the county’s largest town. Catch a musical, comedy act or concert at one of the town’s popular venues, including the O2 Academy and BIC. Stroll along the cliff tops and promenade, or enjoy an afternoon in the beautiful town gardens. With year-round festivals there is always something to entertain you and your family.
Adjoining Bournemouth is Christchurch with its many unique attractions to explore. Wander around the quayside, visit the castle ruins or meander around the harbour towards Mudeford Quay, renowned for its fishing and crabbing.

FAQs
We partner with you to share the cost of buying your own home – you pay for the part you can afford and we’ll pay for the part that’s left. It’s an opportunity to buy the home that’s right for you without needing the large deposit or the mortgage that goes with it.
You buy a share in your home that’s right for you. That could be from 25% up to 75% initially. You’ll pay a reduced rent to us on the share we own and a monthly service charge.
As your finances allow, you can buy further shares in your home as and when you choose, meaning you’ll own more and pay less rent.
Typically, you’ll only need a deposit that is 5% of the value of your share, rather than of the total property value, meaning you could get moving sooner than you thought.
- As long as you are over 18
- Your household income is less than £80,000
- And you don’t already own a home at the time of buying your shared ownership property
… then shared ownership could be right for you
Some properties may be bound by local connection restrictions in order to make them affordable for local customers. We'll let you know if there are any restrictions in place when you are searching for a property.
A deposit for a shared ownership home can start from just 5% of the share value you’re looking to buy. So for example:
If you’re looking to buy a home that has a 40% share value of £80,000, then your deposit could be as little as £4,000 - meaning you may be able to get on the property ladder sooner than first thought!
