What is shared ownership?

Shared ownership (or co-ownership) means that you are the majority homeowner but you initially share the ownership of a home with a third party. The make-up of shared ownership will look different for each homeowner.

With First Home Partner, Kāinga Ora contributes an agreed amount towards purchasing a home with you in return for an equivalent share in ownership (the maximum contribution is 25% or $200,000, whichever is lower). You then purchase this share back over time until you are the sole homeowner.
