Q: How do I become a shareholder?

A: By simply filling in and signing the application form available to download and print on this page.

Q: What does it cost me?

A: In a word – NOTHING. Each share has the nominal value of £1 but we have already budgeted for that ,  leaving you with absolutely nothing to pay.

Q: Who can become a shareholder?

A: A share is offered to each individual tenant over the age of 16 who agrees to conform to the Tenant Shareholding Regulations. If you are on a starter tenancy, you will become eligible once your tenancy becomes fully assured.  Further information is also available on the second page of the Shareholding Application form on this page below.
