Homestake is a scheme unique to Scotland that aims to help low earners get a foot on the property ladder. You pay for around 60% of the cost of a Homestake property and a Homestake registered landlord pays for the rest. When you can afford it, you can buy the rest of the property at a later date. If you move you will receive a percentage of the sale equivalent to the amount you own. Usually, the property has been built specifically for the Homestake scheme. You can find out how much you can afford to repay per month using our Homestake calculator.
