Help to Buy a Home of Your Own

Many people would like to buy a home of their own but find that local house prices are just out of their reach.

If you wish to buy housing which has been built for shared ownership your options are:

1. newly built housing built for shared ownership

2. resales of housing built for shared ownership 

There is no new shared equity housing available in Eastbourne at the moment, but it is worth looking out for re-sales on the Moat Housing website using the link on this page. 

There are also some properties available in other parts of Sussex and the South East.

For details of properties currently available in the South East, use the link on this page to go to the Moat Housing website. 

New Build HomeBuy

This option offers brand new homes for sale on a part buy/ part rent basis. Homes are available through different housing associations. You can buy shares worth between 25% and 75% of the property's market value and you pay a subsidised rent on the remaining share.

Resales

When any existing part buy/ part rent home becomes available for resale, you can buy the share from its current owner. The homes vary greatly in terms of age, size and type. Resales work in the same way as New Build HomeBuy properties.
