Places for People has signed a deal with Stairpay, a digital platform that automates shared ownership staircasing transactions, while Clarion has completed a two-month pilot using the technology.

During the pilot, Clarion reportedly had a 50% increase in staircasing transactions and noted “strong resident engagement with the app”.

Stairpay has also signed an agreement with the online portal for shared ownership properties, Share to Buy, which will facilitate the automatic listing of shared ownership homes for sale.
