However, the terms and conditions of shared ownership can be quite complex and it is likely that you will require the assistance of a property conveyancing lawyer to help you negotiate the process.<\/p>\n<h2>Shared ownership \u2013 who is eligible?<\/h2>\n<p>It is worth bearing in mind that shared ownership is only available to households whose income falls below a certain threshold:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a371,000 a year for a one or two bedroom property in London<\/li>\n<li>\u00a385,000 for a three or more bedroom property in London<\/li>\n<li>\u00a360,000 a year for properties elsewhere in the country<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Furthermore, shared ownership is only available to first-time buyers or those who have previously owned a home but are currently unable to buy one.<\/p>\n<h2>Shared ownership property solicitors<\/h2>\n<p>From Stamp Duty Land Tax to mortgage applications and more, Simply.Law&#8217;s specialist shared ownership property conveyancing lawyers can help you achieve your dreams and objectives with confidence.
