A Helping Hand onto the Property Ladder

Sharon Hale and daughter

More and more people are taking advantage of KHT's scheme to help people to buy their own homes.

KHT ‘s Assisted Purchase Product gives those who have had their home identified for redevelopment an opportunity to purchase a specified home or an existing home without paying the full purchase price.

An owner can pay 50% or more of the purchase price of a new home with the remainder held as an equity loan. Equity sharing helps people to buy a home when they cannot raise a mortgage to cover the full price. The remaining share is held by a loan provider on behalf of KHT. The equity loan would not be repayable until the ultimate sale of the property and there would be no repayments during the lifetime of the loan.

Sharon Hale (pictured) and her family from Huyton are amongst the first to benefit from the scheme. Sharon was able to choose not only the type of home she wanted but the actual plot where it was located. For more details about the scheme, telephone Vicky Bartley on 0151 290 7113.
