Shared Equity
Shared equity schemes help first-time buyers on low to moderate incomes to buy a home. There are two main shared equity schemes:
- Low-cost Initiative for First Time Buyers (LIFT) scheme – helps first-time buyers to buy a home on the open market.
- New Supply Shared Equity (NSSE) scheme – helps first-time buyers to buy a new-build home from a council or housing association.
All of these schemes require specialist knowledge and at HMC we can advise on your eligibility and assist with the applications.
"When I started looking to buy my first home I thought it would be near impossible to do this being single with only one income. I engaged with Ken & Cheryl to see what my options would be and found that I could in fact be eligible to purchase my first home with government support, something I did not consider or know about. Ken & Cheryl provide a great service and helped me understand the process throughout and made my dream of becoming a homeowner a reality, I basically gave them my documents and they did the rest which was fantastic I am now looking forward to moving in - Highly Recommend them 5 star service!”
