Golden Share

To protect the supply of affordable housing in the area, the Scottish Ministers will retain a 10% equity stake in the property, known as a 'golden share'. For example, if a buyer purchased an initial equity stake of 70% and wished to increase their share in future, they may only increase up to a maximum of 90% as the property has a 'golden share' provision attached. When the property is sold, the Scottish Government must be offered the opportunity to purchase it.
