pointless middleman service
shocking service.
you never get a reply from the housing providers that are listed on ShareToBuy.
The website is meant to be a 'portal' for housing providers to list properties, so they're essentially a middle man and all they can ever do is 'chase up' an email and try and get a reply on your behalf. (spoiler: you never hear back).
I've applied for multiple properties on this website and never heard back only to then try and follow up myself directly with the housing provider and be told "the property is unavailable".
I honestly don't get what the point of this service is. Looks like lip service of "we're doing something to help with affordable homes in London" but it's like putting a sticking plaster on a broken leg.

Hi Jack - thank you for reaching out and we're sorry to hear of your negative experience while using our website.
Share to Buy is a free-to-use property portal and independent educational resource, listing thousands of homes available through various housing schemes. You are correct that we do not build homes, organise viewings, or allocate properties ourselves; instead, housing providers upload and update their homes directly on our website.
We’re sorry to hear that you haven’t heard back following some of your property enquiries. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to @sharetobuy on Facebook or Instagram!
Waste of time
This can be miss when reading their monthly costs, such as rent, minimum deposit and service charge.... Reading through the website and being a part of the webinar... Shared ownership made it seem how easy, straight forward and benefiting to get your foot in the mortgage world, it's been nothing but a stressful headache with all the assessments, conveyancing, etc etc the list is as long as my arm we provided everything to everyone, the only good thing we had was our broker, straight up honest with us he did what he could, we got played by Abri housing and their finance advisors we had to do a affordability checks and over the phone assessments felt like we were being interrogated bouncing from one person to another, at the beginning things seemed positive, this was back in January when we decided to go onto a mortgage route, because renting is getting so expensive, we've been rejected from the local council twice as we don't qualify, we got 3 kids in a two bed flat, we new that the landlord will be rising the rent council tax gone up by 7% energy bills gone up and we looked into our finances and was recommended shared ownership was doable and work out cheaper so we could save, but with all the messing around from, lenders and financial assessments holding us back, rates gone up lenders now offer much less and asking for 15% minimum deposit we already was going with the 10% standard!. So in the long run, we've wasted almost 6 months with this found a place we were excited at the begging then it started to lose its appeal! And today that was that our broker got back to us letting us now that the lenders reviewed our file again and decided that we would need to put in a further 5% deposit!
Overall experience, personally not worth it! Felt like everything I read through via shared to buy site was just time wasting and not fully truthful.

Hi James - thank you for reaching out and we're sorry to hear about the frustrations you've faced while trying to purchase a property.
We completely understand that the process of buying a home can sometimes feel lengthy or confusing. Affordability assessments, lender requirements and changes to interest rates can all impact an application, and we appreciate that this can be disappointing, especially after investing a lot of time and effort.
Share to Buy is a free-to-use property portal and independent educational resource designed to help people explore affordable homeownership options. While we provide information on housing schemes, available homes, costs and the conveyancing process, we do not manage the application process itself or make decisions regarding affordability or property allocation.
We list thousands of homes available through various schemes, including Shared Ownership, and our aim is to offer clear information to help buyers understand the options available to them. However, criteria can vary depending on the development, the housing provider, and the buyer’s personal circumstances.
We do appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we wish you and your family all the best with your home-buying journey moving forward. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to @sharetobuy on Facebook or Instagram.
Extremely satisfied

My experience with Share to Buy could not have been better.
It was very easy to put my ad up, all questions were quickly answered by Lucy (and her team), and we were given all the guidance needed to succeed with our ad during the 3 months our ad was live.
Thanks Lucy and team for a stellar service.

Private shared ownership seller.
Outstanding service from Lucy and the team at Share to Buy. We are a private seller, selling our 25% share of our property and over the course of our 3 month listing we had over 30 enquiries, multiple viewings and 4 offers to submit to our housing association. The listing process is straightforward with the team happy to make any changes requested. It is also excellent value for money as we had no need to register with an estate agent to market our property. I would highly recommend Share to Buy to anyone looking to sell their shared ownership property.

We had lots of enquiries straight away - our listing went live on Wednesday and we had a buyer (and several waiting) by the Saturday.

Hi Liv - thank you for reaching out and we're sorry to hear of your negative experience while using our website.
On Share to Buy, we have a budget calculator on each live listing which provides estimated monthly costs for that property, including rent, service charge and mortgage. However, the properties themselves are uploaded and maintained by the housing providers.
We completely understand it can be frustrating, as costs can vary based on the type of home, the share being purchased (if a Shared Ownership property) and each person’s affordability, so we would recommend speaking with both the housing provider and a financial advisor to get the most accurate breakdown of costs.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to @sharetobuy on Facebook or Instagram!

Listings not updated on there, very poor website
The website is very difficult to use. They very often dont update properties, so a house may be sold, yet its listed as available and you have to ring up the housing assoc to check if its free. I recently rang Southern Housing about one, and the woman was SO rude. If you save a property to your account you can never delete it, so youre stuck with loads of unsuitable properties. Share to buy properties are so overpriced. Often a miniscule home will be selling for the price of a 3 X larger one not under share to buy.

Hi - thank you for reaching out and we're sorry to hear of your negative experience while using our website.
Share to Buy is a free-to-use property portal and independent, educational resource rather than a housing provider or specific tenure. If your review is referring to Shared Ownership and you don’t feel this scheme is the right option for you, we also list homes available through various other tenures including First Homes, Deposit Unlock, Rent to Buy and more.
We do not build homes, organise viewings or allocate properties ourselves, instead, housing providers directly upload and update their homes on our website. However, we are sorry to hear that some of the properties you may have shown an interest in have been taken off the market.
Regarding your account, if you have saved a property that you would like to remove, you can do so by clicking on the heart icon which will remove it from your list.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to @sharetobuy on Facebook or Instagram!
Efficient, easy & great for the customer!
We've found listing with Share to Buy efficient and easy and overall have had a great experience so far, with our first couple of resales reserving within days of listing. There's also some really great content on the website for potential buyers explaining shared ownership in detail. Simran and the onboarding team have been really helpful and it was lovely to meet them face to face at an event recently. Looking forward to seeing what's to come!

Better than the old Help to Buy advertising platform
As a Housing Association who relied heavily on the Help to Buy advertising site, Share to Buy are by far the best alternative for reaching potential purchasers.
The staff always make sure you get the best from your advertising, the site is very easy to navigate and the whole experience is positive.
For anyone reading the negative reviews, Share to Buy are an advertising platform that us Housing Providers use, so if properties that are advertised are no longer available, then that is down to the provider and not Share to Buy.

Great service for a shared ownership seller
I was able to sell my property myself and decided to utilise the service Share To Buy offer for shared ownership leaseholders. I provided my own photos, property description etc as is expected and the turnaround time provided by STB to then market my property was excellent. There was rarely an occasion (if any) where they took more than 24 hours to respond to my email queries which for any company in my opinion is great service. Once my advert went live, I was inundated with interest and the first viewing I had ended up reserving. I still utilised the other interests I had (just to be safe) and carried out additional viewings who were all very interested to proceed if my existing buyer withdrew. I wouldn't have had access to this pool of applicants if it wasn't for the STB website which is great for finding people who want a '2nd hand' shared ownership home. Seamless process throughout, I would recommend and use their services again. Special thanks to Eve, Jemma and the team for all their help throughout the process.
