Staircasing Buying a bigger part of your home

With staircasing, you can gradually buy more shares in your home—at your own pace, in a way that suits your life. It’s a flexible, supportive way to move closer to full home ownership, with Cerris Homes here to guide you every step of the way.

What is staircasing?

Staircasing is the process of buying extra shares in your home, so you can increase how much you own—at your own pace and when it suits you. It’s a flexible way to move closer to full home ownership, with our team here to support you every step of the way.

1. Interim staircasing – Buy a little bit more at a time
You can buy additional shares in your home in stages, in minimum 10% increments*. The amount you pay us in rent will go down as the amount of the property you own goes up.
2. Final staircasing – Buy all the remaining shares in your home
You can buy the remaining shares in your home and reach 100% ownership, either in one payment or after several interim transactions. When you have bought all the shares in your home, you’ll own your home outright and will no longer be a shared owner, and will no longer need to pay rent to Aspire Housing^.
*Unless specified differently in your lease
^Service charges and ground rent may still apply
