Myth busting Shared Ownership in Manchester

22 July 2026, 17:00 – 19:00
Clockwise Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom
Cost: Member / Non Member

Join us for an informative and open panel discussion designed to improve awareness and understanding of Shared Ownership across Manchester and the wider North West.

While Shared Ownership is well established in London and the South, it remains less understood in northern regions, where it is sometimes misinterpreted or viewed with uncertainty.

This event aims to address those misconceptions head-on by providing clear, transparent, and factual insights into how the scheme works.

Our expert panel will explore how Shared Ownership can offer a realistic and accessible pathway to homeownership for first-time buyers and those currently priced out of the open market.

Hear from industry specialists including:

  • Toby Brown, Sales Director at Latimer Homes
  • An independent financial adviser from Metro Finance

Together the speakers will share expert perspectives on housing delivery, affordability, mortgages, and consumer guidance within the affordable homeownership sector.

The discussion will cover:

  • Common myths and misconceptions about Shared Ownership
  • How the scheme works in practice
  • Affordability and mortgage considerations
  • The benefits and limitations of Shared Ownership
  • Real buyer concerns and frequently asked questions
  • Current Latimer availability in Manchester

 There will also be an opportunity for attendees to speak with our team to get financially qualified.

Our goal is to build trust, improve understanding, and encourage more informed conversations around affordable homeownership opportunities in Manchester and across the North West.
