Low cost home ownership
There are different Scottish Government schemes available to help you buy your own home.
Open Market Shared Equity scheme
This can help people on low or moderate income buy a home who can't pay the full price.
You pay the majority of the price and the Scottish Government pays the rest. The Scottish Government helps you buy the property and gets the same percentage back when you sell it.
Link Housing manages this scheme in East Renfrewshire for the Scottish Government.
