Firstly you will need to find a property you want to buy. You can either approach your local Housing Association or you can buy from someone who already owns a shared property.
If you do opt to buy privately, the Housing Association will still need to be approached to ensure that you meet their criteria.
Many Housing Associations have waiting lists for properties on their books so if you plan to purchase in this way, it is a good idea to add your name to their list as quickly as possible.
The easiest way to locate your local Housing Association is to look on www.housingcorp.gov.uk under the Public Register of Social Landlords and you will find a list of all the Associations.
