The First Home Scheme (FHS)


The First Home Scheme (FHS) is a partnership between the Government and participating lenders to

help first-time buyers and other eligible homebuyers bridge the gap between their deposit and mortgage, and the price of their new home. This is a shared equity scheme meaning that eligible homebuyers will receive funds from the FHS in return for the FHS taking an equity share in the ownership of their property. The option to buy out the equity share is available. (T&Cs apply). The FHS can fund up to 30% of the market value of your new property or 20% if you also avail of the Help to Buy Scheme.
