What is Shared Equity?
The Scottish Government's Shared Equity schemes enable people to buy a home in partnership with a registered social landlord. An owner generally pays between 60 and 80 per cent of the price of a home – with the remainder held by a registered social landlord using a Government grant.
Who is Shared Equity for?
The Scottish Government's Shared Equity schemes mainly aim to help first-time buyers. The schemes can however help others too. For example, they may be able to help people who are looking for a new home after a significant change in their household circumstances. They may also be able to help disabled people access more suitable housing.
For more information on shared equity see The Scottish Government website| and the Directorate for Housing & Regeneration|.
