Subletting your Shared Ownership property

You are not allowed to sublet a shared ownership property. 

We will only give permission for subletting in exceptional circumstances.

For example:

• If your employer has asked you to work abroad or away from home temporarily
• If you have to move out of the property to care for a relative
• If you are suffering from domestic violence, racial harassment or other form of harassment
• If you have been marketing your property for a long time and have been unable to secure a sale.

Permission will only be given for up to 12 months and if you have a mortgage on the property your mortgage lender will also have to agree.

If you own 100% of your apartment and wish to sublet please complete and return an application to sublet a leasehold property with payment of the administration fee. We will usually agree to this as long as you have not purchased a rented home from us under the Right to Buy or Right to Acquire scheme in the last 5 years.
