You may wish to add a person who will assume liability under the shared equity documentation. Alternatively, you may seek to remove a person from any liability under the shared equity documentation. In either case, you should obtain the agreement of your primary lender in the first instance before contacting the registered social landlord who administered your New Supply Shared Equity Scheme transaction.
