SHARED EQUITY - OWNING YOUR HOME, AT LOWER COST
We currently don't have any properties for shared equity
However…other housing associations may be able to offer a wide range of shared equity properties across the Lothians, and the opportunity to access these on the open market. It may be worth calling Link Homes on their dedicated Shared Equity “hotline” 0845 155 0019 or trying this link: http://www.linkhousing.co.uk/link_homes/shared_equity/ . Or send an email to lift@linkhaltd.co.uk to request an application pack.
What is involved? Demand usually outstrips supply, and you should bear in mind the qualification criteria we are required to apply. As a shared equity buyer you take 100% title and are responsible for all insurances and repairs. No rent is paid and there is the option to purchase the remainder of the house from the Partnership after two years.
