Co-Ownership  Reviews 

Excellent service. Co Ownership made it possible for me to purchase a house in an area that suited the kids for school.

Seeing as I was buying first time I decided to give this a go. Phone call to be told my application would ‘likely’ be rejected due to a late payment, £100 application fee, but my luck it got accepted, give you 5 months to look for a house? Found my dream house, sale agreed, found issues in the inspection, give them a 3 week to fix it, rejected. So we’re already 10 weeks away from the deadline, so how am I meant to find another property in the next 10 weeks before meeting the deadline???? The issue in the house could’ve been resolved as I had planned for someone to look at it, but Co ownership does not allow this, £550 property assessment and £440 returned (which took a week to get refunded), who can actually be bothered with this type of stress?? Does this ‘charity’ think people have all the money in the world to waste on property assessments when trying to buy a house?? This is meant to be something to help people to get into the property ladder, but make it impossible to do so. So save your money kids and go for a mortgage, also a lot of vendors purposely avoid Co ownership applications because of the length of time ‘waste of time’ it takes to do applications. Btw, 1.8 million people in Northern Ireland and this only owns 10,000, meaning it’s not even 1% of them in NI. Do not be fooled .

Edit: from the response, so in 10 weeks I’m meant to find a house, get sale agreed (most vendors avoid Co own) pay another £550 for an assessment, and then have to wait another 3 weeks for it to fall through? Is ir meant to be ping pong until the deadline to the point I don’t have a house in the end? Instead I’m wasting £200+ ? This is not worth the stress and the horror stories are to be believed. The house I was looking at was in good condition and even advertised as ‘Co ownership’ house but even the seller knew it weren’t the stress.

From first contact staff were friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable.

very helpful, and faster than i expected. Thank you very much!

Co ownership were great, we had a few minor issues with our mortgage lender requiring information changed quickly and co ownership were speedy to update this on their end causing a smooth process

Fantastic customer service. Friendliest staff who explained and simplified the whole process from start to finish. I can't rate them highly enough. If there was 10 stars , I would rate them 10

I've been trying to buy a house for over 10 years and coownership made it possible for me.
I finally have a place to call home.

Good communication with staff throughout the process. Kind, helpful and supportive!

Everything happened quickly enough, we have no complaints. We still can't believe we have our own home. We are very grateful for the opportunity to acquire them.

For me it only took upto 4 months to get somewhere. I thought the process moved very quickly and smoothly. The only thing I had bothered with was the Co-ownership online website but the rest of the process was quickly done.

Very easy and user friendly system
