Selling your Shared Ownership home

If you decide to sell your home, and you own less than 100% of the property, you will first need to contact us to let us know that you intend to sell your property.

You will be required to get a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) valuation for the property to determine the value of the shares that you own.

We will then advise whether we have any buyers on our waiting list that would be interested in purchasing your property, or whether you are free to sell on the open market.

Any buyer must still meet the shared ownership eligibility criteria.

You will be required to pay an admin fee of £200 to sell your property, and you are also responsible for covering any legal costs incurred by Rotherham Council throughout the process.
