Shared ownership
The option you never knew existed
Shared ownership is another way to buy your home. You buy a percentage, and pay rent on the rest. West Kent owns part of it - but you're living there, you decorate it, and you decide when to sell.
Buying a percentage means a smaller deposit and a smaller mortgage. It's a sooner first step on the ladder for lots of people. Usually, you can also carry on buying shares, to own it 100%.

Why buy with West Kent?
West Kent went above and beyond with us and were very patient with us being first time buyers and knowing very little about the process. Emily always replied to emails within a reasonable amount of time and had an answer to our questions. We didn’t have the best time with other aspects of the process and Emily kept us grounded, I don’t think we would have made it through without her."
