Help to Buy and Shared Ownership

With the Help to Buy scheme now available to more buyers than ever before, you can take advantage of the scheme to buy property regardless of whether you are a first-time buyer or not.

The scheme also enables existing property owners, along with first-time buyers, to purchase properties of any age, as well as new-builds.

Shared Ownership Schemes are provided through housing associations. The schemes enable a buyer to purchase a share in a property and pay rent on the remaining share. Shared ownership properties are always leasehold.

Our team of lawyers are well-versed in all the details of the Help to Buy scheme and Shared Ownership scheme and can guide you through the process, whilst offering useful and relevant advice to assist you with your property purchase. We will answer any questions you may have about the schemes, as well as advise you on the payment of Stamp Duty.

Call 01242 574244 or contact us to find out how we can help you with the purchase of a property with the Help to Buy Scheme or Shared Ownership Scheme.
