Northern Ireland Co-Ownership Housing Association Limited is a registered housing association under The Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1992 and is also registered as an Industrial & Provident Society. We are regulated and funded by the Department for Communities in Northern Ireland. We help enable families and individuals who meet the criteria
for relief of those in need to have a home of their own through shared ownership. In doing so, we help build neighbourhoods and sustainable communities. We are a Do-It-Yourself Shared Ownership Scheme, (DIYSO), serving all of Northern Ireland. Operating since 1978, NICHA have helped over 25,000 households into home ownership. Purchasers take as large a share in the property as they can afford to start with, (e.g. 50-90%, known as the starter share), and they can increase that share at any time, (known as stair-casing).
