What Is Golden Share?

It is understood that the property is under the City of Edinburgh Council’s Golden share scheme where this property must be sold at 80% of the full market value.

Golden Share is an approved affordable housing tenure in the City of Edinburgh, for people who can show that they are in housing need. Properties are designated as Golden Share through Planning Applications. Properties are sold at 80% of open market value making them affordable to people in housing need (who could not afford to purchase a similarly sized property in the local area). People applying for or purchasing a Golden Share property are both referred to in this guide as the “applicant(s)”. The process for Golden Share is similar to a standard house purchase and the applicant(s) own 100% of the property. However, the applicant(s) must demonstrate that they are eligible for Golden Share and provide all the necessary evidence with their application.

A Guide to Golden Share and the application form can be accessed by the links provided on the website portal, or by contacting Resales.
