About New Supply Shared Equity
The Scottish Government's New Supply Shared Equity scheme helps people on low incomes who want to buy a new home but who cannot afford the full price.
You pay for a majority stake in one of our new properties - normally 60 to 80 per cent - and we receive a grant from the Scottish Government to pay for the rest.
Please note
The New Supply Shared Equity scheme is separate from the Open Market Shared Equity Pilot that allows people to buy homes that are being sold on the open market in a number of areas across Scotland. For more information on the open market scheme, go to the LIFT open market buyers' guide.
Who is eligible?
We mainly aim to help first-time buyers, such as people living in a property rented from a housing association, people in the Armed Forces or veterans, and people living in private rented housing or living with relatives.
But we can help others too. For example, if you are looking for a new home after a significant change in your household circumstances or if you have a disability and own a house which doesn't suit your needs.
