Affordable home ownership schemes

1. Overview

You may be able to get financial help from the government to buy a home.

You could get:

• help with savings, through a Help to Buy ISA (UK wide) or low-interest loan (in England and Wales)
• a home through shared ownership (UK wide)

The Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme closed at the end of 2016.
