FAQ's From First Time Buyers in York

Are there other ways to help me get onto the property ladder in York?

Accorion Arrow

If you are struggling to meet the minimum required deposit, you may need to look at other ways of getting onto the property ladder. There are many different types of government-led schemes that can help you out, some may be more suited to your situation than others.

For example, the Shared Ownership Scheme allows you to purchase a share of a property—typically between 25% to 75%—and pay rent on the remaining portion. This can be a practical option if saving for a deposit on 100% of the property value is proving a struggle for you.

If you want to get more information about the different schemes that are available, you should get in touch with our team. We know the ins and outs of every scheme and can check whether you can access any of them or not.
