The scheme is not available to assist buy-to-let investors. You may not part-exchange your existing home with a home builder and buy a new home from them. The scheme is not available to assist with the purchase of self-build homes. You cannot purchase a property that is not a new build property. If you or your partner already owns a home i.e. where either of you are named on the title deeds of a domestic property, you cannot conclude your Help to Buy (Scotland) Affordable New Build Scheme transaction until your other home has been sold. You cannot buy a home from a home builder who is not registered to participate in the scheme. You must reserve a property and obtain a full Reservation Agreement before applying to the scheme. You cannot buy a home for more than the threshold prices for the scheme which apply for the financial year in which you complete the purchase. You must take out a repayment mortgage with a participating lender , unless you are aged 60 or over. Missives for the purchase of your home must be concluded on your behalf no later than 3 months after the date that you are issued with an Authority to Proceed Letter. The purchase of your home (i.e. when you pay the purchase price to the home builder and receive the keys to your new home) must complete within 9 months of the date of the issue of your Authority to Proceed Letter, otherwise you will cease to be eligible to receive financial assistance under the scheme towards the purchase of your home.
Low-cost Initiative for First Time Buyers (LIFT)
There are two LIFT schemes available that we can assist you with:
1. The Open Market Shared Equity (OMSE) Scheme aims to help first time buyers onto the property ladder with the minimum capital outlays and is a fantastic way of getting on the property ladder for many people who thought it wasn’t possible. There is now NO RESTRICTION to the size of the home you can purchase based on your family size, only the Threshold Prices in your area set out by the Scottish Government.
2. The New Supply Shared Equity scheme (NSSE), which helps people buy a new-build home from a council or housing association. This scheme can also be applicable to those who have previously own a home but has had a significant change in circumstances e.g. a martial breakdown.
How does the LIFT scheme work? First time buyers can literally purchase any property on the market with either no deposit or as low as 5% deposit of your share, the only other outlays being the legal fees. The LIFT scheme would provide up to 40% deposit for their purchase. The Scottish Government have set different purchase limits in different council areas.
The schemes are aimed at households with low to medium incomes, we can assess your circumstances for your area to see if you qualify and help you with your application process.
