Open Market Shared Equity Pilot

The Scottish Government is committed to helping people meet their aspirations to become home owners. This booklet gives information about our Open Market Shared Equity Pilot that will help people across Scotland who are on low incomes, particularly first-time buyers, become home owners.

The Open Market Shared Equity Pilot is separate from the New Supply Shared Equity scheme which mostly relates to homes that are newly built by registered social landlords. A separate booklet covers that scheme.
