If you decide to sell your shared ownership property after remortgaging, you will need to follow the usual process for selling a shared ownership home.
This typically involves notifying your housing association, which may have the right to find a buyer or require you to offer the property to eligible buyers first.
The proceeds from the sale will be used to pay off the outstanding mortgage, with any remaining equity divided according to the share you own.
Having bad credit can make remortgaging more challenging, but not impossible.
You may need to work with a specialist mortgage advisor and be prepared for potentially higher interest rates or less favourable terms.
Yes, you can remortgage to consolidate debts.
This means you could potentially pay off higher-interest debts with a lower-interest mortgage, but it’s important to carefully consider the implications and seek financial advice.
Yes, your housing association will need to be informed and involved, especially if you are staircasing.
They typically need to approve the valuation and the terms of the remortgage.

The value of your property is determined by a professional valuation, usually conducted by a chartered surveyor. This valuation will establish the current market value of the property, which is essential for the remortgage process.
Staircasing is the process of buying additional shares in your shared ownership property.
This might eventually lead to owning 100% of the property, at which point you no longer need to share ownership with the housing association.
