Home ownership

If you can afford to buy your own home, it shouldn’t be any harder because you are HIV-positive. You can find more information on mortgages here.

As well as providing homes for rent, some social landlords also help people to buy their own homes. The Right To Acquire scheme gives eligible tenants of social landlords the right to buy their property at a discount. You may also be eligible for the Social HomeBuy scheme which offers help to buy a share of the market value of your home. Full details about both schemes, including who is eligible and who to contact, can be found using the links below.
