HomeBuy
HomeBuy is a government scheme to help make home ownership in West and South
Yorkshire more affordable.
The scheme has four different options:
New Build HomeBuy – where you buy part of a new property and rent the rest from a registered social
landlord
Social Market HomeBuy – certain existing social tenants can buy part or all of their home through
discounted right to buy schemes
Open Market HomeBuy – where you part-buy a property on the open market and get an equity loan for
the remaining share.
First Time Buyers Initiative - where you buy a property on a designated private
developer site with a mortgage for at least 50% of the value of the property.
The remaining % of the property is paid to the developer by a Government loan.
