Thames Valley Housing Association and the National Housing Federation commissioned CCHPR to carry out research into the secondary market for shared ownership properties. The research examined national data sources on resales and involved a survey of all major shared ownership providers on resales and staircasing behaviour. It also involved more detailed qualitative work with Thames Valley clients.

This report, commissioned by Thames Valley Housing Association and the National Housing Federation explores the operation of the second-hand market for shared ownership properties. It also also examines the practice of ‘staircasing’, whereby a shared owner may purchase additional shares of their home.
