Shared Ownership
Councils are currently deciding on the provision and tenure of shared ownership homes.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council's Planning and Development Control Committee approved plans in April 2026 for eight new homes behind The Grange. Of these, 75% will be designated as shared ownership, a scheme allowing people to buy a share of a property and pay rent on the remaining share, with the remaining 25% for social rent.
In March 2026, Newham Council's Cabinet approved converting the tenure of 41 units across two development sites. Originally planned to include shared ownership, these units will now be solely London Affordable Rent, a decision made to address temporary accommodation pressures and enhance financial viability.
