Do-It-Yourself Shared Ownership (DIYSO) is a part buy, part rent scheme designed to help people get on the housing ladder.
It is very similar to other shared ownership schemes except for one key element. Under most shared ownership schemes the buyers usually choose a home provided by Solihull Community Housing or a housing association.
With DIYSO buyers can choose a home on the open market giving far more choice of a property to buy. DIYSO allows you to buy a share in a home of your choice and pay an affordable rent on the part you don’t own.
