Miller homes part exchange scotland

I currently have a 60% part ownership property that I purchased in 2008. I do not pay rent on the 40% all that happens is the government take 40% of the sell on price even if this is a loss.

I am interested in buying a miller home and wish to take advantage of their home exchange offer.

Does anyone know if I would meet criteria with my current property being part ownership?

    What you are describing is shared equity, not shared ownership.

    Is it the "LIFT" scheme?

    See page 8, 13 of the pdf.

    In which case, you actually sell 100% of the property and at completion, the loan is repaid, leaving you with your equity after your mortgage is also paid off.

    Contact the body which handles post-sales issues for your scheme before you do anything else.
