We own 80% of our flat in a shared-ownership lease. We now wish to sell our share. Do we have any obligations to the landlord/housing company?

Some versions of shared ownership leases provide that the leaseholder has to give a right of first refusal to the landlord if the property is sold. This may apply even though the leaseholder has purchased 100% of the property under the staircasing provisions of the lease.

Typically, under a shared ownership lease, the landlord nominates a purchaser and the purchase price is determined by an independent surveyor appointed by the landlord.
