Through shared ownership, deposits can be from as little as 5%! So, if a 40% share costs £100,000 then your deposit could be as little as £5,000. It really is that simple (and no you don't have to share with anyone else, except maybe your partner, children or the cat).
Read on to find out more about Dorset and how Aster can help your Shared Ownership dream.
Where is Dorset?
Sitting on the edge of the English Channel coast, Dorset is a county in South West England that borders Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire, and Hampshire – all of which you can easily visit due to Dorset’s impressive transport and road network.
Dorset’s county town is Dorchester. Dorchester is located on the edge of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Beauty, situated approx. 7 miles north of Weymouth and the Jurassic Coastline. Here you will be able to enjoy the charm of a historic market town, the surrounding beauty of the countryside, plus the convenient amenities and transport links of a larger town.
Dorchester is a vibrant town for sightseeing, shopping, and visiting the Dorset Museum but there are also plenty of other well-known tourist spots such as Bournemouth which is definitely worth a visit if you enjoy the coast.
Bournemouth is the largest town in Dorset, famous for its seven-mile stretch of award-winning sandy beaches, Bournemouth is quite simply one of the most stunning coastal towns in the country.

What to do in Dorset?
Did you know, Dorset is home to the UK’s only Natural World Heritage Site? That’s right, Dorset is home to the Jurassic Coast as well as over half of the county being an Area of Outstanding Beauty. Even better, contrary to most of the UK, Dorset boasts a great amount of sunny weather – way over the UK average meaning you will have great weather to enjoy all of these attractions.
If the hustle and bustle of busy towns is more your thing, Dorset has plenty to offer in terms of retail therapy, nightlife, and eateries across Dorchester, Weymouth, and Poole as well as many more.
Shared ownership is a government-backed scheme designed to help individuals who may not afford to buy a home outright on the open market. Under this scheme, you purchase a share of a property (typically between 25% and 75%) and pay a reduced rent on the remaining share. Over time, if you wish, you can buy more shares in your home, a process known as "staircasing", until you own 100% of it. This approach makes homeownership more accessible for many and serves as a stepping stone towards full homeownership.
