LIFT (formerly HOMESTAKE)

What is LIFT?

Low-cost Initiative for First Time buyers

LIFT allows the purchaser to buy a 60% -80% 'stake' or share of the property (in some cases we may offer an intial 51% share). The purchaser then mortgages their share of the property but assumes full ownership. No rent is payable to Fyne Homes.

For example if a property is valued at £100,000, the purchaser could mortgage the property for £60,000 - assuming an initial 60% 'stake' or share. During tenure the owner can increase their holding 'stake' or share to a maximum of 80%. If the owner then decides to sell the property at a later date, the sale value is split with Fyne Homes relative to the stake or share held by the home owner.
