We make home possible
There's nowhere like home. A space to settle, grow, and truly make your own. But for a lot of people, buying one has felt out of reach.
That's where shared ownership can help. It gives people a way to buy a share of a home today, with the option to buy more tomorrow.
We're Sparrow, a specialist shared ownership provider launched in August 2024, with around 3,000 homes across England.
We have a clear vision: to be the UK's leading shared ownership provider, recognised for the quality of experience our shared owners receive. Everything we do is focused on helping people feel confident, supported and informed throughout their homeownership journey.
We're here for the long term, growing with purpose and creating lasting value for shared owners, communities and partners.
Built on strong foundations
Sparrow Shared Ownership Limited (Sparrow) launched in August 2024 as a fully regulated Registered Provider of social housing (No. 4636), overseen by the Regulator of Social Housing.
We were created with a different model in mind. Sparrow is backed by exclusive, direct investment from the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), one of the UK's largest pension schemes. This partnership provides stable, long-term capital that aligns with the multi-decade nature of shared ownership.
As a Registered Provider, we're held to high standards of governance, financial resilience and customer service. Combined with a long-term investment approach, this gives us the stability to focus on supporting customers throughout their homeownership journey.
The Sparrow way
A small team only works if everyone pulls in the same direction. These three values shape how we work with each other, and with you.
Excellence
We set the bar high. We focus on delivering quality homes, excellent service and continuous improvement.
Integrity
We're open and honest. We share our progress, explain our decisions and communicate clearly, even when the answer is difficult.
Trust
We do what we say we'll do. We listen to our customers, act on feedback and make decisions with the long term in mind.
Our people
There's around 25 of us working at Sparrow, across customer service, property, finance, governance and legal. Meet our leadership team, our Board and the shared owners on our Customer Scrutiny Panel.
