Shared Equity
The Shared Equity Scheme aims to help people on low incomes who wish to own their own home but who cannot afford to pay the full price for a house. It is part of the range of assistance from the Scottish Government's Low Cost Initiative for First Time Buyers (LIFT).
Through the scheme you can buy a home in partnership with us. You pay between 60% and 80% of the price of a home and we pay for the rest using a Government grant.
Shared Equity mainly helps first time buyers but it can help others too. For instance, if you are looking for a new home after a significant change in your household circumstances or if a disability means that you need to move to more suitable housing, we could give you a LIFT into home ownership!
For more help please download our leaflet or visit the Scottish Government website.
