The Government has set out criteria detailing who is eligible and how applicants will be prioritised. There are a number of low cost home ownership options available that may be suitable for you.

We call these low cost home ownership schemes "Homebuy". The Government has appointed Homebuy agents to act as a first point of contact for people wanting to buy a home using one of their schemes. Our local Homebuy agency is Southwest Homes. On their website (opens in a new window) they list all the current Homebuy options and information on all the properties currently available. You can also contact them on 0300 1000021 or by e-mailing info@southwesthomes.org.uk
