NHQB appoints Natasha Greenwood as director of shared ownership
The New Homes Quality Board (NHQB), which operates the Shared Ownership Code and the New Homes Quality Code, has appointed Natasha Greenwood as director of shared ownership.
Greenwood will now be the main point of liaison between NHQB and the wider affordable housing sector, leading the strategy to support registered providers in adopting and meeting the requirements of the Shared Ownership Code.
She brings over 30 years’ experience within the housing sector, having worked for three of the largest G15 organisations, including more than 11 years at Sovereign Network Group as head of home ownership and most recently as director of customer experience at Southern Housing.
Greenwood’s appointment follows the creation of the Shared Ownership Board in December 2025, which includes figures from housing, consumer bodies, and finance to oversee the Code’s governance and strategic direction.
Greenwood said: “Shared owners deserve clarity, fairness, and confidence throughout their journey, and I am passionate about improving the experience for customers both when they buy their home and as they live in it.
“I am looking forward to working closely with providers and industry partners to support the adoption of the Code, raise standards across the sector, and help ensure shared ownership customers receive the consistent, high-quality experience they should expect.”
NHQB chief executive, Emma Toms, commented: “Appointing Natasha as our director of shared ownership is an important major step in strengthening NHQB’s work to improve confidence and trust for shared ownership customers. Her strong understanding of the sector will help guide our approach and support our wider work on raising standards.
“Natasha’s role will focus on improving the experience of shared owners by working closely with providers and industry partners. She will support the adoption of the Code and help ensure its requirements are met, so shared owners can expect clearer information, fairer treatment, and a more consistent experience when buying and living in their homes.”
