We’re redesigning it to make services easier to use. Tell us what works and what doesn’t by completing our 5 minute survey. Have your say by 18 March 2026.
If you own a shared ownership lease for a house you will have responsibility for all repairs to the interior and exterior of the property.
If you own a shared ownership lease for a flat you are responsible for internal repairs, including replacement of fixtures and fittings.
Repairs and upkeep of the building’s structure, exterior and communal parts and services remain the responsibility of the council, but you may incur a cost for any such repairs and improvement works.
