Housing Advice Centre

The organisation that deals with all Shared Ownership enquiries in Redbridge is the registered provider Metropolitan Housing Trust (MHT), and is referred to as the North London Zone Agent. (Registered Providers were formally known as housing associations).

Shared Ownership is also known as part buy, part rent.

Apply for a Shared Ownership home

Shared Ownership allows people to own a share of the property and rent the unowned part. For example you may have a mortgage on 20% of the property and you pay rent on the other 80% of the property. When your circumstances allow you can increase your share of the property that you own.

Visit MHT's website to start the process.

Apply for an affordable home

If you would like the benefits of living in a new home without owning it, then you may be entitled to apply for one. To do this you will need to apply through the Choice Based Lettings Scheme.
