Government Can Solve Your Mortgage Woes
Shared equity schemes are increasing in popularity. This is primarily down to the much hiked deposit requirements which has meant for many people saving the required deposit is pretty much impossible. Before the credit crunch many could get mortgages without the need for a deposit, banks were making it as easy as possible for people to borrow however now while there are a few 10% deposit mortgages, your credit rating would have to be almost perfect, the normally is at 20-25%. If you want a good interest rate then you will need to be able to put up a 25% deposit, that’s £35,000 on a £140,000 home, who has that kind of money? So you can now see why shared equity mortgage schemes are becoming more popular, they bridge the gap and allow people to be able to buy a home. There are a couple of different shared equity schemes available. Depending on where you live in the UK you can apply for government assistance. If you live in England the scheme is known as HomeBuy and in Scotland the equity schemes come under LIFT which stands for Low-cost Initiative for First Time Buyers. The LIFT scheme is designed to help those on low to moderate incomes buy their first home. The scheme has recently been extended across Scotland so you should be able to benefit from government help in your area. The lift shared equity schemes is administered by social landlords who handle applications and the scheme on behalf of the Scottish Government. Those wishing to apply should understand that there are certain criteria which each social landlord will assess applications on including your income and savings that you have, it’s an affordability test as they are looking to help those that would be unable to afford the mortgage under their own steam. If you are approved for assistance you only have 12 weeks to use the funds awarded to you so it is best to have your house searching already done so you don’t spend time on finding the right house for you and your family.

mortgage government assistance Questions
Where can I find government grants?
I am looking for free government grants related to the stimulus pack for assistance in paying off home mortgages. If it’s any help we are seniors.
My Uncle…I think he’s about 54, so not quite a senior..but 
. He got a grant around 4 months ago from grant1. He sent me this site because I said I wanted to apply, but still haven’t gotten around to doing it!
You might give it a try though. I think it’s only like 2 or 3 bucks for shipping it to you, but it’s a free guide. Good luck!

How can you justify the Government (YOU & ME)bailing out those who can’t afford increased home interest rates?
Thirteen years ago we built our house and we paid it off in 6.
We bought a vacation home and paid it off.
We do not take out loans to buy our cars – we wait until we have the money.
We also own hunting land in 2 parts of the state.
WE WERE YOUNG AND POOR when we got married 25 years ago. We went without things until we could AFFORD them.
Today’s SOCIALIST mentality is that EVERYONE deserves what everyone else has – even if they don’t want to work as hard for it. HILLARY – “We will take things from you for the common good.”
NO one GAVE us a break. We paid 10% interest on our first home mortgage which left us with a house that was smaller than my current deck. Yet, I did not look for the Government to get me a bigger home even though there were people on Goverment assistance living in bigger places than us.
We CHOSE to have our kids while we were young and knew it would be a struggle but we never ONCE looked to ANYONE to give us anything.
Sounds like the way I came up in this world with strong personal values and not relying on anyone. We make decisions and ask questions in this life. Yes, I did borrow money at the high interest rates for a mortgage too. No one helped me pay it off. I also paid my own way through college by working hard at low paying jobs. I never felt the government owed me anything. I still do not want to live in a socialist state. I believe wholeheartedly that universal health care is wrong and will not work. I do believe in helping those who are not physically or mentally capable of helping themselves. The rest of us do need affordable health care. Insurance companies are taking advantage, and I have seen this as a nurse many times.. I have also seen those who have taken advantage of the system. Illegals from different countries, and others. The mortgages in trouble should not have a hand out but perhaps and hand up. Some way of renegotiating loans. But absolutely not a bail out.
We are blessed with the chance to get an education in this country, and to be employable. Many of the Liberals who are not able to find work should remove the piercings, get a haircut and look presentable, then they won’t need my money.
Good point and great question!
Ruth, I raised two children on my own, worked and went to classes without child support. That’s no excuse!
