Affordable housing

Hi guys, I’ve got a few questions about affordable housing.
1. Is affordable housing council”?
2. What are the affordable housing schemes
3. Can you own your house 100% with a affordable housing scheme
4. Did the help to buy come under affordable housing?
Was the help to buy under this when it was available?

What I mean buy it is when you had the help to buy and you brought a house using it did that then come under the category of affordable housing? I’m not sure how I’m not making making sense from what I’m asking 😂

Got it and no, because Help to Buy could be used towards your first home in a private purchase, and not just what was available as affordable housing.

What is it that you want to do? Affordable housing is not council housing. It just means you don't pay full market price.

Are you eligible for that scheme?

It’s exactly the same eligibility as the help to buy and I was eligible for that

It is going to be difficult getting anything that is discounted to make it truely affordable. Some new builds have schemes that you can look into
