Wigan Council Affordable Homes Equity Loan Scheme

Summary

If you’re eligible for Wigan Council’s Affordable Homes Equity Loan Scheme, you could benefit from a 30% interest-free loan, which can be used to purchase a selected Bellway home. You will need to pay at least 5% deposit on the property you wish to buy and secure a mortgage for the remaining purchase price. The loan must be paid back after an agreed term (up to 25 years), when the property is resold, or before if you wish.

Under this scheme the property you are buying must be your only home and you must live in it.

• Currently live in the borough and have lived there for the last six months

• Your usual place of employment is within the borough
