Edinburgh is first. The category is next.
51% would consider co-owning if buying solo isn’t realistic.
The tension
Capable renters are paying today’s prices while losing tomorrow’s equity. Deposits are harder, affordability tests are tighter, and “waiting it out” isn’t a plan.
52% feel stuck on the path to home ownership.
Meanwhile, people are already improvising alternative routes—without a standard, without safeguards, and with unnecessary risk baked in.
The category
CoHaus is building first-in-category infrastructure for a new route into home ownership—designed for the affordability era and proven first in Edinburgh.
CoHaus makes co-buying workable. We match compatible buyers into purchase-ready groups, run verification and financial checks, and orchestrate the transaction with partners—reducing risk and friction so shared ownership becomes a repeatable path to purchase.
The behaviour exists. The category does not.
51% open to co-owning (definitely/probably would consider).
81% at least not closed off (open or want more information).
59% would take the next step (join the waitlist or attend a short information session).
The thesis
This is not a listings problem or a lending problem. It is a journey design problem.
The ecosystem has modernised around parts of the transaction, but the route that many people now need remains fragmented and unsupported.
CoHaus is first-in-category design for structured shared home ownership.
We’re building first-in-category infrastructure for structured shared home ownership, turning a non-standard route into a defined, repeatable pathway.
