Government Schemes

Government Schemes offer people such as first-time buyers and key workers the opportunity to get a step on to the housing ladder.

Government Schemes often change, but here are some:

HomeBuy Direct – offers an ‘equity loan’ if you are a first time buyer who can’t afford a mortgage for new-build home
Shared Ownership – you buy a share of your home and pay rent on the remaining share
Key Worker Living Programme – for workers such as fire fighters, police officers, nurses, social workers in certain areas of the country
Right to Acquire – help to buy your housing association home
