LIFT (formerly known as Homestake) is a shared equity scheme aimed at helping people on low incomes who wish to be homeowners but cannot afford to pay the full price for a house. It is also available for disabled people and their families, who have to move to a house more suitable to the needs of the disabled person, and in this case some of the eligibility criteria may not apply. For more information about this scheme contact us on 0131 661 3400 or refer to the Scottish Government website where a fact sheet is available. You can download the LIFT Open Market brochure here.
