A shared ownership lease is a lease—

granted on payment of a premium calculated by reference to a percentage of the value of the demised premises or the cost of providing them, or
b
under which the tenant (or the tenant’s personal representatives) will or may be entitled to a sum calculated by reference, directly or indirectly, to the value of those premises.

A relevant shared ownership lease is a shared ownership lease where the tenant’s share in the demised premises is less than 100%.

The tenant’s share in the demised premises is the tenant’s initial share in the demised premises, plus any additional share or shares in the demised premises which the tenant has acquired.

The landlord’s share in the demised premises is the share in the demised premises which is not comprised in the tenant’s share.
