Company background

Helping people who are homeless

At Share to Buy, we are passionate about housing - on a day to day basis that means helping people get their first foot on the property ladder, but we also recognise that there are even starker problems faced by those with no home at all. That is why we have teamed up with homelessness charity 

, to help them in their effort to support homeless people.  Share to Buy are therefore pleased to confirm that for each mortgage we arrange that goes on to complete we will make a £10 donation to St Mungo

Sharetobuy.com aims to provide a 'one stop shop' to access the main government-backed affordable housing schemes. If you are looking to buy in London, we are the official portal of First Steps, the Mayor of London’s affordable home ownership brand. You can use our site to search for shared ownership property across England and you can also search for and compare shared ownership mortgages.

On our property portal we advertise the two main Government schemes: First Steps in London, for which we are the official portal; and 'Homebuy', which is the name for affordable housing in the rest of England. Specific schemes within London and outside include shared ownership/part rent part buy (as described); shared equity (inc Firstbuy, where you purchase a home outright but receive an equity loan for a large part of your deposit); and rental products including Rent to buy and Intermediate Rent. See our getting started section for more information.
