What Is the Scottish Government's First Homes Fund?

New support from the Scottish Government could make it more achievable for first-time buyers to get on the property ladder.

The First Homes Fund has been introduced to provide eligible buyers with financial support towards the purchase of a new home.

How Does The Scheme Work?

The First Homes Fund is a shared equity scheme designed to support first-time buyers in Scotland. The scheme provides up to £10,000 towards the purchase of your first property, of homes valued up to £300,000.

How Could It Help You?

Saving for a deposit, covering moving costs and all of the other associated costs with buying a home can make the purchase feel stressful and out of reach. However, The First Homes Fund could help by:

-Providing up to £10,000 towards your purchase of your home

-Helping buyers get onto the property ladder sooner

-Making home ownership more accessible

Combined with competitive mortgage rates, like those through Own New, and buying an energy-efficient new build home, this scheme could make your first purchase more affordable.
