Affordable Home Ownership

Affordable home ownership is an option for people who can not afford to buy a property on the open market - it's also known as 'low cost home ownership'. There are a number of schemes currently available to help people purchase their first home or help those wanting to upsize or downsize, such as shared ownership or first homes.
