How does it work?

With Sage Homes shared ownership housing, you purchase a share of your chosen home and pay a monthly rent on the part you don’t own. You can initially buy shares from 42.5% up to 75% depending on how much you can afford. Sage Homes will then become your landlord, granting you a 990-year lease and charging you a rent of 2.75% on the share of the property that you don’t own, so you can live in your home as if it were completely your own.
