Yes, you can buy more shares in your home or buy outright whenever you can afford to.
With some schemes you may have to live in your home for a year before you can buy more shares. This process is called 'staircasing'.
The amount you pay for additional shares will be based on the value of your home at the time you staircase. When you buy more shares your rent will reduce, and if you buy outright you will no longer be required to pay rent.
