What is the Affordable Purchase Scheme?

The Affordable Purchase Scheme is a Government backed initiative, designed to help first-time buyers purchase newly built homes at a reduced price.

If you are ready to start your journey to owning your own home, the Affordable Purchase Scheme may be an option. It is designed to help bridge the gap between what you can afford to pay and the price of your new home.

This summer launch programme marks a fresh phase in the Affordable Purchase Scheme, with new homes being launched for first-time buyers/fresh start applicant, which also qualify for the Help to Buy Scheme.

Application Process

Applications will be accepted through an online application portal. On the day the application portal opens, you will first need to register on the portal and then you can proceed to complete the online application form and submit the requested documentation.

There will be an individual application for each Affordable Housing scheme, when affordable homes are made available for purchase, they will be advertised in the Council’s website, Social Media platforms and local newspapers.
