Equity sharing

Equity division is another name for shared ownership or joint ownership . It takes one property, more than one owner, and integrates it to maximize profits and tax deductions. Typically, the parties find a home and buy it together as a co-owner, but sometimes they join to own property that already owned one of them. At the end of an agreed period of time, they buy each other or sell property and divide equity.

Equity division in different countries

United States

The division of equity became desirable in the United States when in 1981 Section 280A of the Internal Revenue Code allowed the use of a mixed tax of one property for the first time allowing the invaders to claim major residential tax cuts and investors to claim a reduction in property investment tax. Since shared ownership is provided by the federal tax code, this proprietary vehicle may be used in any state.

United Kingdom

There are many uses of "Equity Sharing" in the UK. Often applied to various forms of Cheap Ownership schemes. These include equity loans, sometimes referred to as Equity Sharing Loans and some form of Shared Ownership (part buy/letting section) rental scheme referred to as Leasing Equity Sharing. Some local authorities may also refer to a resale price restriction under the planning documentation as a Equity Sharing arrangement.

English

The British Government facilitates joint equity mainly through Home and Community Institutions. In 2009 it was under the banner of HomeBuy . It aims to help households generate up to £ 60,000 per year.

New Build HomeBuy is where buyers buy at least 25% of newly built homes, and pay the remaining rent. HCAs generally subsidize housing associations or other providers to hold the remaining parts. Rents are limited to 3% of the value of unsold shares, but are usually set at 2.75%. Buyers can buy additional shares whenever they are able to do so; this is known as "staircasing".

HomeBuy Direct was introduced in 2009, in which government and housing developers jointly funded an equity loan of 30% of the valuation, so buyers only need to pay a mortgage of 70% of its value. If the buyer buys additional parts, the three parties participate in each value increase. HCA allocates Ã, Â £ 300 million for the scheme for 2009--2011, and 10,000 homes are available under the initiative.

The Open Market Homebuy allows buyers to purchase at least 25% of the property on the open market, with a conventional mortgage on the part, and a low-interest loan in the rest. It is currently unavailable because funding for 2009-10 has been fully done.

Homebuy Social allows tenants from participating councils and housing associations to purchase their rental housing on the terms of joint ownership, with the proportion of the usual Right to Earn discounts.

Purchased a scheme for first-time buyers announced in Budget 2011. Below the first buyer can get help to fund the difference between 5% deposit and 75% mortgage. This is only available on the selected newbuild scheme. Top-up equity is provided in the same stock by HCAs and developers.

Private sector equity shared in the UK

The private sector shares equities or, as is sometimes known, equity with investors, operating very differently because there is no element of taxpayer subsidy. In contrast, third-party investors make the difference between a buyer's deposit and (usually) a 75% mortgage, in return for equity in property and lease. This scheme runs for 5 or 10 years (sometimes with a 'difficult' extension), which means that at the end of the relevant period, the owner must purchase equity shares at a relevant percentage of the current market value. Generally there is no penalty on early redemption or partial redemption. Thus, the equity division can be seen as a move until the full ownership of the property.

Although equity with investors, on the other hand, is more expensive than public sector schemes, because the need to pay rent on parts that are not owned, it still has a significant advantage:

• First, not limited to a newbuild, or a particular housing provider. Instead, buyers can research the entire market for the best deals. Some will say this to avoid the danger of paying inflated prices to a housebuilder.
• Secondly, there are fewer ways of filling out forms and waiting lists. Since investors share equity is essentially a financing mechanism, it's as simple as applying for a mortgage.
• Third, it is less likely to run out of funds than public sector schemes. As long as the investor reaches the desired return, the resources are in theory unlimited.
• Fourth, the buyer is placed in the cash buyer position and thus empowered to negotiate the best deal with the vendor.
• Finally, of course, cash injections give buyers the opportunity to access better interest rates and lighter credit checks associated with 75% of mortgages.

Economic theory

In economic theory, ownership is studied in the field of contract theory. In particular, Oliver Hart (1995) argues that ownership is important in the context of an incomplete contract. When some future possibilities can not be dealt with in today's contract, then negotiations will be made tomorrow. Ownership increases bargaining power in these negotiations. As a result, today an owner has a stronger incentive to make a relationship-specific investment (ie, the issue of suspension is reduced). Within this framework, Schmitz (2017) has shown that the co-ownership of an asset can be desirable today, though tomorrow is optimal to provide assets to those who value it most. The reason is that joint ownership provides a more balanced investment incentive from the parties involved. The optimal share ownership depends on whether the investment is realized in physical capital (so the owner can always seize the return) or in the human capital of the parties.
