Help to buy for people with disabilities

Options
We are looking to relocate. My husband and son (20yrs) both have life long disabilities and are unable to work. I work full time but am not sure my wages will cover the shortfall (we have 270k deposit) and was wondering if there would be any government schemes that could help especially as we have already been told my son is eligible for sheltered accommodation. We are moving to be nearer family as we are very isolated where we are currently.
Many thanks

  • Not that I am aware off TBH, have you asked social services about this, or CAB ?

    A government help scheme when you have a £270000 deposit?? Most people can only dream of ever owning a home worth half your deposit value.

    Not aware of anything either.... hopefully you get more definitive advice... but as above... is £270k not sufficient to buy a suitable home... you moving to a particularly expensive part of country.. south east?

    It's possible OP added a 0 by mistake and the deposit is actually 27k.

    Have you considered getting your son sorted out with the offered sheltered accommodation and then buying something smaller for you and your OH?
