If you want to sell your shared ownership property, there are additional steps that  you need to go through, when compared to a standard property sale. Your housing  provider should be approached first as they may already have a buyer waiting  through a similar scheme.  You will need to pay for a valuation of the property, get an EPC certificate and agree  a contract of sale with your housing provider. If your housing provider is unable to  find a buyer through their scheme after an agreed period, you can advertise the  property privately or through an estate agent. However, the buyer will need to meet  the criteria set out by your housing provider to purchase using a shared ownership  scheme themselves. You will need a solicitor to help you through the selling process  and ensure that exchange and completion go ahead as required.
