good evening
we are looking around the possibilities of buying a new build shared ownership.
would I need to get a shared ownership mortgage or am I able to get a 'standard' mortgage?
sorry for my ignorance

have you looked into the pros and cons of Shared ownership, it transcends more than 'it's cheaper than rent'"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"

Specialised products only.
Many mainstream lenders have lower LTV limits on newbuild, so they won;t be open to you, even on SO, unless you have 15% or 20% deposit.
The rates on newbuild SO at 90% or more are not great as there is only a small pool of lenders.I am a mortgage broker.
