Selling your Heylo Shared Ownership home?

How to sell my Shared Ownership home?

What does resales mean?

The sale of a Home Reach Shared Ownership home is known as a resale.

All Home Reach Shared Ownership leases include specific terms around selling, as the scheme is intended to help as many people as possible into affordable home ownership.

What is a nomination period?

Your lease includes something called a 'nomination period' which is the period of time for which your property can only be marketed for sale to buy through Shared Ownership.

You should check your lease to confirm the length of the nomination period for your property and confirm any other requirements that might be in place. However, if a Shared Ownership buyer is not found within the nomination period, you will be able to market your property at 100% and sell on the open market.

Does resales work differently if I purchased my home through Your Home?

Your Home Shared Ownership scheme properties use a different lease so the nominations period doesn't apply. Your Home properties go straight on to the open market as a standard outright sale.

What should I do if I want to sell my Shared Ownership home?

If you wish to sell your Home Reach or Your Home shared ownership home, the first step is to contact our Resales team at [email protected]
