What is Staircasing?
Staircasing is the process of buying additional shares in your Shared Ownership property. As you buy more shares, you pay less rent to your Housing Association.
- Reduce your monthly rent
- Benefit from property value growth
- Freedom to sell on the open market (at 100%)
Own 25% → 50% → 100%
