Buying your first home as a key worker? Several government schemes can help make homeownership more affordable. Whether you are considering Shared Ownership, Right to Buy, or the First Homes Scheme, we can advise on which option suits your circumstances and search the whole of market to find the right mortgage to support it.
Buy a share of a home (often between 10% and 75%) and pay rent on the rest. You can staircase to full ownership over time as your income grows.
Council tenants can purchase their home from the local authority, often at a significant discount that can act as your deposit.
New-build homes sold at a minimum 30% discount to local first-time buyers. The discount is preserved for future owners too.
We work with lenders who consider applicants with CCJs, defaults, IVAs, or other adverse credit history. Don't rule yourself out.
