    The shared ownership is the problem, but nowadays, as finance is very tight, would a council be willing to fully fund two people while giving away a valuable asset (possibly half a property) to the younger couple ? Could they, perhaps, claim a share of the property and charge the younger couple rent on that part ?

    I don't think so. The most that could happen would be that the council would set up a deferred payment scheme and put a charge on the house.
