The English government provides first-time owners and other buyers who cannot afford a house the opportunity of buying a share in a property. Shared ownership mortgages provide buyers with some of the advantages of home ownership while reducing the cost of buying one.

To buy a home through the governments HomeBuy scheme you must apply through a local HomeBuy agent. The list below provides a list of HomeBuy agents and contact details by region and area provided by Direct.gov, the government’s public service website.

Once you buy a shared ownership home you will need to contact Metropolitan Home Ownership, the National HomeBuy agent in charge of collecting your loan and rent payments. If you want to sell the house or buy another share in the property you also need to talk to Metropolitan Home Ownership.
