New Supply Shared Equity

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

The New Supply Shared Equity scheme is separate from the Open Market Shared Equity Pilot that allows people to buy homes that are being sold on the open market in a number of areas across Scotland. A separate booklet covers that scheme.
