Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Find out about shared ownership

If you want to buy a home of your own, but can't afford to buy, then you may be eligible for affordable home ownership. There are different types of affordable home ownership available, such as:

  • shared equity
  • discounted market sale
  • shared ownership

Shared ownership means buying a share of your home (between 25% and 75%) and paying rent on the rest.

You can buy a new home through shared ownership if your household income is less than £80,000 and any of the following apply:

  • you're a first time buyer
  • you used to own a home, but can't afford to buy one now
  • you're an existing shared owner
