If you are planning on buying your first home, you may have come across the phrase Shared Ownership? It can be a great way to purchase your first home and get on the property ladder. However, shared ownership conveyancing is a legal process and there are a lot of potential pitfalls. This is why you need a specialist shared ownership conveyancing solicitor to help you ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible.

The conveyancing process for a shared ownership can be more intricate than the standard conveyancing process. This is because there are more parties involved in the process. This is why it is so important you choose a reputable shared ownership conveyancing solicitor that you can trust.

There are a lot of different parties involved in a shared ownership transaction. For example, your estate agent. A housing association or council and their solicitor, a mortgage broker, the mortgage lender, you and your solicitor. All these parties have the same goal. They want to help you move into your new home.

Before you find your shared ownership conveyancing solicitor you will have found a home that you are interested in. You may have also had a conversation with a mortgage advisor to complete the affordability assessment. You will then reserve your home, and the solicitor will be needed.

While you can use any conveyancing solicitor to help with the transaction, it is highly recommended that you choose a solicitor that is experienced in shared ownership conveyancing as it comes with its own challenges. This way you know you are in safe and reliable hands.
