A national voice for shared owners

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.

We advocate for improved transparency and reform for better outcomes, and against mis-selling and other poor practices in the sector

Shared Ownership Resources is a registered charitable organisation (CIO), led by shared owners and former shared owners for shared owners. 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. You can find more information about us on the Our People and About pages.
