Is a Housing association classed as a private landlord

[ajohn]

there’s also shared ownership which we have a stake in.

I think that is what I was considering. My brother bought a house on a similar deal. What happens when they are sold? The backer gets their % of the value.

When I got married and we moved house we found my wife had this sort of deal but she didn't know. I had to go see the bank manager to get a loan rather than upping the mortgage. He said you may be surprised but a number of people have requested similar for the same reason.

Honestly, I can’t remember. If they’re sold to the people who own 50% then I’d say they just purchase the other 50%, not sure at what cost though.

Yes, the seller keeps a % share which needs to be paid back when sold.

Is that the action of a private landlord

I’d say that leans heavily towards No

You would but its not a yes or no, itsmore involved than that.

Are you a private landlord? Yes

There’s a little debate going on between me and @Notch7 about the above question.


It’s clear a HA isn’t considered as a private landlord.

Is it owned by local or central government? You say "it is clear" so you obviously know the answer.

No, you haven't answered my question.

I will do when you post the link for the thread I apparently started.

I’ve asked for it numerous times now. No rush Johnny boy
