‘Golden Share’ Scheme On New Edinburgh Apartments
Former WhatHouse? Housebuilder of the Year Barratt Developments – which operates under its Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes brands – is offering a special deal on selected apartments at its Edinburgh sites.
Golden Share is special scheme set out by the City of Edinburgh Council to help people who want to take that first step onto the homeownership ladder but have only a limited budget. It allows them to buy a brand new home for 80% of the market value. In the future, then they come to sell, the owner gets 80% of the sale price. This goes on for future re-sales.
There are criteria for applying for the scheme but the basics are that you can't afford to buy a suitable home full market value, that you have capped savings and deposit, and that you have a local connection to area (either through employment, family or cultural networks).
