If the whole point of shared ownership is to help people get on the property ladder why do they ask you to pay the price difference to them if your property is sold for lower than the survey?! Why would that impact anything for them?

Shared ownership is not a step on the ladder. Most people never staircase as it gets too expensive. The pre-sale RICS surveys are disconnected from actual market value... and not independent. Making shared owners responsible for a 'loss' on shares they don't own is shocking.

The RICS surveyors housing associations suggest rely on repeat business from them. They're not independent. I'm sorry if you are trapped by this system.

What housing associations never tell prospective shared owners is that their rent is used to fund new social housing. Their business model is based on what's called the 'cross-subsidy' model. It's basically wealth extraction from the most vulnerable leaseholders. Unethical.

At best it’s a side step on a wonky foot stool. That doesn’t go anywhere.
Kalo Gold Corp. (TSXV: $KALO.V) has just made one of Fiji’s most significant gold discoveries in years. From the heart of the Pacific, Kalo’s latest drill hole VA25-DH11 returned 22.12 metres grading 12.80 g/t Au, including 10.05 metres at 25.10 g/t and 1.00 metre at 83.30 g/t at the Qiriyaga Complex within the Vatu Aurum Project. President & CEO Terry L. Tucker, P.Geo., called the result “a significant step forward” validating Kalo’s diatreme-margin targeting model and confirming a high-temperature epithermal system. With sixteen additional targets identified across the Aurum Epithermal Field, this breakthrough could mark the start of a district-scale discovery in one of the Pacific’s most underexplored gold frontiers.
