What is equity share capital?

Answer 1

and equity sharing have broad meanings, but given the chosen categories by the author, it is presumed that the meaning can be narrowed to what is commonly called "home equity sharing " in the US or "shared equity schemes" in the UK. In these cases, the meaning is limited to residential real estate. With that context, here are a couple of definitions to answer the question:

Equity : The equity in a home is what the home owner would expect to take away with a sale of the home. The simplest calculation would be the current value of the home minus the outstanding mortgage, which is owed to the lender.

Equity Share: Equity sharing is a way for a home buyer and an investor to jointly buy property and share ownership. Typically the home buyer has exclusive occupancy rights and takes care of the ongoing financial obligations (mortgage, taxes, insurance, etc.). The investor normally is a passive participant. There are both public and private applications of equity sharing. In the public applications a local government body may act as the "investor" with a primary goal of making the property perpetually affordable for the current and subsequent owner. In such cases, the sale price of the property is purposely limited so that the next owner is aided also. In private applications, the investor is motivated (like the home buyer) by the appreciation of the property value. In that case, there is no price limit for the sale of the home.
