What was Shared Ownership Week 2024?
Shared Ownership Week 2024 was an event to raise awareness of Shared Ownership and celebrate its benefits. It ran from Wednesday 25 September to Tuesday 1 October 2024, and the week’s partners were due to be at the London Home Show so visitors could talk to them in person.
Shared Ownership Week is run as a joint venture between Share to Buy and The Media People. The 2024 message was “Do it for the future. Do it with Shared Ownership“. The year before, the week marked a decade: read ten years of Shared Ownership Week.
Shared Ownership is a buying scheme that can help first-time buyers onto the property ladder. According to gov.uk, you buy a share of a home, usually between 25% and 75%, pay rent to a landlord on the rest, and can buy more shares later.
