Once you staircase to 100%, you own the full property interest under the lease and no longer pay rent to the housing association.
However, if the property is leasehold, such as a flat, service charges and leasehold obligations may still remain in place.
This is often referred to as full staircasing and can be a long-term goal for many shared ownership buyers.
Your home/property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
You may have to pay an early repayment charge to your existing lender if you remortgage.
