Scotland’s Open Market Shared Equity Scheme allowing people to buy a home without having to fund its entire cost has been raised by 9% across the country to reflect rising house prices.

- people aged 60 and over
- first time buyers
- social renters (people who rent from the council or a housing association)
- disabled people
- members of the armed forces
- veterans who have left the armed forces within the past two years
- widows, widowers and other bereaved partners of service personnel for up to two years after their partner has lost their life while serving
