What is Shared Equity?

Shared Equity is when the government/developers under initiatives retain a share of the equity and participate in the rise and fall of the value of the property according to the percentage split. There is a second charge. There are several schemes that you may have heard of such as London Wide Initiative, First Time Buyer Initiative, Dreamstart, Headstart and First Start. Again you need to read through the detailed documentation provided by the Scheme handlers or Zone Agents.
