A national voice for shared owners

Shared Ownership Resources is a registered charity, led by shared owners and former shared owners for shared owners. You can find more information about us on the Our People page. Some of us have had a good experience of shared ownership and some of us haven’t. But we all believe there’s room for improvement.

Whether you are considering shared ownership, an existing shared owner, selling your home or have inherited a shared ownership property, our aim is to help people make more informed decisions.
