This is the most widespread scheme as is commonly known as shared ownership. the first-time buyer purchases a share of between 25 and 75% of a new build house or flat and pays a subsidised rent on the part that the housing association, or house builder, retains. Buyers can increase their share over time; an option known as "staircasing".
This section of the scheme is split into two parts that vary in the levels of government funding;
Open Market HomeBuy (Private Lenders Scheme)
With this option the first-time buyer typically pays for 75% of a property from the open market, financed in the following way:
A participating lender such as Halifax or Nationwide will offer an interest free loan for 12.5% of the propertys value
An interest-free government loan for 12.5% of the value of the property
A regular mortgage for the remainder, probably with the participating lender who provides the interest-free loan
No interest is charged on either loan for the first 5 years. After this period, interest of up to 3% is charged on the participating lenders loan, rising to the lenders standard variable rate after ten years. Both loans must be paid back in full if the house is sold.
Open Market HomeBuy (Government-Only Scheme)
For this scheme the government will provide the first-time buyer with a loan of 17.5% of the propertys value, with the remainder being financed by a regular mortgage. There is no interest charge on the loan but the homeowner must share any increase in the propertys value with the government when it is sold. Not that both open market schemes are administered by a HomeBuy agent or a housing association that acts on behalf of the government. As such there are certain restrictions, as follows:
If the owner decides to sell, the property will be valued by a HomeBuy agent
In the event of a re-mortgage, permission must be granted by the HomeBuy agent
In some cases, if the house is being sold, the HomeBuy agent will nominate the buyer
Social HomeBuy
This part of the HomeBuy scheme allows council tenants the chance to buy 25% or more of their rented home. It is aimed at council tenants whose landlords do not participate in the right to buy or right to acquire schemes
