Paragraph: 93
Update Homes England Capital Funding Guide to require specialist advice teams for shared owners.
Recommendation
We urge Homes England to update its Capital Funding Guide for shared ownership to specify that providers should only be selling shared ownership properties on the condition they set up and maintain specialist teams of professionals who can provide accurate, timely and accessible advice on leases and lease extension to shared owners. Homes England could help facilitate the establishment of these teams through, for example, convening forums through which experienced providers could share best practice.
