Local authority house purchase loan finance continues to be made available to first time buyers only. The Housing (Local Authority Loans) Regulations 2012 are kept under on-going review and there are no plans, at this time, to alter the scope of the Regulations to include non-first time buyers.

The option currently available for non-first time buyers is to seek home loan facilities from one of the commercial lending institutions.
