Info for Sellers

Each Housing Association (HA) will have slightly different rules but in general, you should be able to sell your property at any time.

The value of your property will be determined by a Chartered Surveyor.

The HA will have an initial exclusivity period (usually two months), in which to ‘nominate’ a buyer for your share of the property at the valuation price.

In most cases you’ll need to produce the sales particulars yourself (photos, floor plans, dimensions, description, etc.) as well as deal with the enquiries and from interested applicants and even conduct the viewings.

You may also need to pay a sales fee (usually referred to a nomination or administration fee) to the Housing Association, typically between 1% and 1.5%. (Find out about our unique Shared Ownership Resales Services to help sell your property faster and easier).

In the event that they are unable to find a buyer within their exclusivity period, the property can be sold on the open market; again the value is determined by a RICS Surveyor.  In this circumstance you can use an estate agent to sell your share or offer the whole property at (or above) the full market value.
