Mortgages

Government schemes, decoded.

Schemes can make buying possible with a smaller deposit or income — but the rules can be confusing. We’ll tell you which you qualify for and arrange the mortgage to match.

Overview

The right scheme for your situation

From Shared Ownership to Right to Buy and regional schemes, there are several ways to get onto the ladder sooner. Not every lender supports every scheme — we know which do.

  • Shared Ownership — buy a share and pay rent on the rest
  • Right to Buy for eligible council and housing-association tenants
  • Regional and key-worker schemes where available
  • Guarantor and family-assisted options

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. A mortgage is a loan secured against your home.

Good to know

Common questions

What is Shared Ownership?
You buy a share of a property (typically 25–75%) and pay rent on the rest. It lowers the deposit and income you need. You can usually buy more shares later — called staircasing.
Who can use Right to Buy?
Eligible council and some housing-association tenants in England may be able to buy their home at a discount. Eligibility rules apply — we’ll help you find a lender that supports it.
Can my family help me buy?
Yes — guarantor mortgages and family deposit schemes let relatives support your application without simply gifting cash. We’ll explain the options.
