First Homes Fund

Helping you take your first step on the property ladder.

First Homes Fund - Boost your deposit and get on the property ladder

Buying your first home in Scotland could soon become more achievable, thanks to the return of the Scottish Government’s First Homes Fund.

Designed to support first-time buyers, this scheme offers an equity contribution of up to £10,000 towards your deposit, helping reduce the upfront cost of getting onto the property ladder.

Even more support with St. Modwen Homes

On top of the Government’s contribution, St. Modwen Homes could also offer up to 5% of the property value towards your deposit*, giving you an even larger deposit and making your first home more affordable.

Boost your deposit further if you purchase a new build home - Combine the £10,000 Government support with up to a 5% contribution from St. Modwen Homes to help strengthen your buying position.

No monthly repayments to the Government - There are no monthly payments and no interest charged on the Government’s contribution. 

Shared equity, not a traditional loan - The Government takes a small equity share in your property, which is typically repaid when you sell.

Designed for first-time buyers - The scheme helps tackle one of the biggest home owning hurdles – saving for a deposit.
