Shared Equity Scheme
The Shared Equity Scheme is an alternative home purchase opportunity for social housing tenants. The Scheme began operating in May 2010 and has been made possible through a partnership between Housing ACT and IMB Limited.
The Scheme provides for eligible head tenants to purchase 70% of their Housing ACT property upfront, with IMB providing the finance. The remaining 30% equity of the property remains with Housing ACT. The purchaser agrees to progressively purchase this equity from Housing ACT over a maximum 15 year period.
The following documents outline the various aspects of the Shared Equity Scheme including eligibility criteria, steps in the process and details on how to express an interest in purchasing your Housing ACT home:
