What is the Shared Ownership scheme?
Shared Ownership allows buyers to purchase a share of a home. The purchaser will pay a mortgage on the share they own and a below-market-value rent on the remainder to a housing association.

Why would you need a Shared Ownership Valuation?
After purchasing a Shared Ownership property you can make a part repayment known as “staircasing” to start paying off the equity you have borrowed. Alternatively, you may wish to sell your property and redeem the loan in full.
Whether you are looking to “staircase” or redeem the loan in full you will need a valuation of the property from an RICS registered valuer. This valuation will allow the Shared Ownership scheme to calculate how much you need to repay.
More details on repaying your Shared Ownership property can be found on the government website using the links below:
How Desktop Valuations can help with your Shared Ownership Valuation
Our team of RICS registered valuers at Desktop Valuations have helped many clients with Shared Ownership valuations for staircasing or sales purposes. We can provide you with a fast, accurate and affordable property valuation in the RICS Red Book format for you to provide to your Housing Association.

Money back guarantee for Shared Ownership valuations
All of our Shared Ownership Valuations come with a money back guarantee in the unlikely event that our report is not accepted by the housing association or Shared Ownership scheme.
All Shared Ownership valuations are valid for 3 months so the sale or staircasing must be made within those 3 months. This can be extended subject to the request being made within 2 weeks of the end of the initial 3 month period. We offer one free extension of the valuation.
Areas our Shared Ownership Valuations cover
Because Desktop Valuations provide remote valuations we can value any residential property in England and Wales under £1m in value.
