than if you were to rent

privately.

• You have the option

to buy more shares of

your home in the future

via a process known

as ‘staircasing’. In most

cases, purchasers can

staircase all the way to

100%, in which case they

are no longer required

to pay any rent, just their

mortgage along with any

relevant service charges

and ground rent.

• You can sell the shares

you own at any time.

• It is not normally

necessary to pay Stamp

Duty land tax on an initial

purchase.

• Unlike private renting,

you have security of

tenure. As long as the

rent is paid and mortgage

repayments are made,

you can live in the

property for the duration

of your lease – this is

usually 99 or 125 years. At

the end of the lease, the

leaseholder can organise

an extension with their

housing provider; we

would recommend

appointing a solicitor and

surveyor with experience

in this area.
