Northern Ireland’s regional shared ownership provider, Co-Ownership, has announced an increase in the Property Value Limit for its Co-Own, Co-Own for over 55s and Rent to Own products from £210,000 to £215,000. The change will apply to applications submitted to Co-Ownership on or after 14th April 2026.

The increase is designed to support people across Northern Ireland as they seek to become homeowners, whilst responding to rising property prices.  

Co-Ownership has been supporting people into home ownership in Northern Ireland since 1978. The model, designed to help people who would not otherwise be able to own a home of their own, allows the homeowner to buy a share of a house, whilst Co-Ownership buys the rest. 

Mark Graham, Chief Executive of Co-Ownership, explains how the increase will provide wider access:

“Today’s announcement represents an encouraging step forward, helping more people across Northern Ireland access an affordable home through co-ownership.

Ensuring the limit accurately reflects real market conditions is essential to support our customers to find high-quality, affordable homes that meet their needs.’’
