For many young people and families, shared ownership provides a fantastic opportunity to start on the property ladder through buying a share of a property from a social landlord.
Effective management of the entire property purchase process is essential. This needs to cover everything from valuations, property advertising, viewings, document production to property sale, and staircasing.
BRIKHousing: Property Sales & Shared Ownership_ manages this process from end-to-end, and also handles Right to Buy and Right to Acquire processes for existing residents.
Built for deployment on existing or new Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement or Power Apps implementations, this module leverages all the flexibility and capability of the Microsoft platform, whilst providing a robust and feature property sales and shared ownership solution.
Housing Association Challenges_
- Changing policy: introduction of a 10-year repair warranty during which the shared owner will receive up to £500 a year from their landlord to pay for essential repairs. Previously buyers had to pay 100% of all charges, even if they only owned a share of the property.
- Gradual staircasing: a new 1% gradual staircasing model for the first 15 years enabling shared owners to buy more shares in smaller instalments. Standard staircasing reduced to a minimum of 50% increments.
- Changing customer habits: residents expect to engage with their social landlord in similar ways to other services such as retail and banking.
