What deposit do I need?

It gets better. You usually only need a 5% deposit based on the share that you buy. So, if you were to buy a 25% share in a £300,000 property (which would be £75,000), then your deposit would be just £3,750. It is that simple. Sounds too good to be true? Read through our how does shared ownership work guide to find out how shared ownership works and how it can work for you.
