Information for Homeowners
Whether you’re a Shared Owner, a 100% leaseholder or freeholder (you own your home outright) this section is home to lots of useful information for you.
Sub-letting
Sub-letting your home
If you are a Shared Owner, you must live in your property as your only home and subletting is not permitted.
Renting out your home through Airbnb (or similar) is considered a form of sub-letting and therefore not permitted.
In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to allow you to sub-let for a limited period but you must contact us ahead of doing this for us to consider your request; fees apply.
Taking in a lodger
You can rent out a room in the home, but you must live there at the same time. Should you need to do this you may need to inform your local tax office and mortgage provider.
You should take professional advice before committing to any type of formal agreement.
