Buying shared ownership can you make offer

Hi all

Might be a daft question but being our first house purchase we're just not sure 🤔

So buying a shared ownership property can you make an offer of the share your looking to buy? Just like you would buying a normal house.

Thanks again all

    If it's a re-sale you can, if buying new then no chance

    Yes, as above, if it's a resale property (i.e. not brand new), you can make an offer. I'm not sure whether a new build will be a blanket no, but it's tough getting offers accepted on new builds full stop.
