Disclaimer:The information below is a general overview only. Grant amounts, eligibility criteria, and programme availability change frequently. This page does not constitute financial or legal advice. Verify current conditions directly with the relevant government authority or a licensed financial adviser.
AE — United Arab Emirates
The UAE does not operate a single nationwide first-home grant open to all residents. Housing support is delivered to Emirati nationals by federal and emirate-level housing authorities, and the programmes recorded for this market are MOHRE housing support and Dubai Land Department fee incentives such as registration fee waivers on qualifying transactions. Confirm what applies to your build with your emirate's housing authority and the relevant land department.
AR — Argentina
Argentina's national housing programmes have been restructured and no longer take new applicants: ProCreAr's trust was wound up in 2024 and Casa Propia — Construir Futuro was discontinued. What is available today is UVA-indexed mortgage lending, which Banco Hipotecario, Banco Nación and the private banks resumed in 2024, and the provincial institutos de vivienda, which run their own lote-con-servicios, self-build and completion lines. Confirm what is open with the Secretaría de Vivienda, your provincial instituto de vivienda and your lender before you budget for it.
AT — Austria
The federal Sanierungsoffensive („Raus aus Öl und Gas“) funds replacing a fossil-fuel heating system, and the EAG investment grant supports photovoltaic systems and electricity storage through OeMAG. Housing construction and refurbishment aid (Wohnbauförderung) is set by each Bundesland, so what you can claim depends on the province. Both federal schemes run as funding calls with limited budgets and can close between calls. Confirm current rates and open calls with umweltfoerderung.at, OeMAG and your Land.
AU — Australia
Australia's First Home Owner Grant is administered state-by-state and applies to new residential builds and substantial renovations. Eligibility criteria — including contract value caps and occupancy requirements — vary by state and territory. Stamp duty concessions and land transfer duty exemptions may also apply depending on your state.
BD — Bangladesh
The Bangladesh House Building Finance Corporation is the state housing lender, and its concessional lines cover building on your own plot in cities and district towns, flat purchase, the Probashi loan for expatriate Bangladeshis and rural housing. Ashrayan is the government's own resettlement programme for landless and homeless households rather than a grant a builder applies for, and the National Housing Authority allots plots and flats in public schemes. Confirm current loan ceilings, interest rates and area limits with BHBFC and the Ministry of Housing and Public Works.
BE — Belgium
Renovation aid in Belgium is regional, and two of the three regional schemes are closing. Flanders runs Mijn VerbouwPremie — since 1 March 2026 the top two income bands qualify for heat pumps only. Wallonia's Primes Habitation close to new applications on 30 September 2026, and the Brussels RENOLUTION premium is already closed to new applications. Federally, demolition and reconstruction can be invoiced at 6% VAT instead of 21% under four separate tracks, each with its own surface caps and conditions. Confirm what is still open with your region.
BR — Brazil
Minha Casa, Minha Vida is the federal housing programme, relaunched in 2023 with income bands (Faixas 1 to 4) that set both the down-payment subsidy and the interest rate; most of the funding is FGTS, and an FGTS account holder can also draw the balance toward buying or building a first home. Reforma Casa Brasil finances renovation and extension work at subsidised rates. Caixa Econômica Federal originates most of it, and states and municipalities add programmes of their own. Confirm current income bands and property value caps with Caixa and the Ministério das Cidades.
CA — Canada
Federal programmes support first-home buyers and new builds, including the First-Time Home Buyers' GST Rebate on qualifying new homes, the First Home Savings Account (FHSA) with tax-deductible contributions, and the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) RRSP withdrawal. The GST/HST New Housing Rebate and CMHC Eco Plus premium refund may also apply. Amounts, price caps, and provincial or territorial incentives vary. Confirm current details with the relevant Canadian authority.
CH — Switzerland
Das Gebäudeprogramm funds building-envelope refurbishment and heating replacement. It is financed from the CO₂ levy but administered canton by canton, so the eligible measures and contribution rates depend on where you build — and many cantons and communes add programmes of their own. Solar installations can claim the federal Einmalvergütung paid through Pronovo. Confirm the current Fördermenü with your cantonal energy office and Pronovo.
CL — Chile
MINVU delivers housing support as subsidy calls (llamados) with fixed application windows rather than as a standing entitlement. DS49 (Fondo Solidario de Elección de Vivienda) fully subsidises the most vulnerable households, DS1 supports middle-income buyers of a new or used home across three tramos, and DS19 subsidises units inside socially integrated developments. Construcción en Sitio Propio funds building on land you already own, and the Programa de Mejoramiento de Vivienda y Barrio funds upgrading an existing home. Confirm the open llamado, its dates and the required savings with MINVU and your regional SERVIU.
CN — China
The Housing Provident Fund is the main instrument: employer and employee both contribute, and a member can withdraw the balance or take a provident fund mortgage at well below the commercial rate to buy, build or renovate a home. Deed tax is charged at a preferential rate on a qualifying first home, and mortgage interest is a special additional deduction against individual income tax. Affordable rental housing and urban village renovation are delivered locally. Contribution ratios, floor-area thresholds and loan ceilings are set city by city, so confirm yours with your local housing provident fund centre and tax bureau.
CO — Colombia
Mi Casa Ya is the national programme: Fonvivienda pays a down-payment subsidy and a monthly interest-rate coverage on a VIS home, with allocation ordered by the household's Sisbén group and limited by an annual quota. Households affiliated to a Caja de Compensación Familiar can also claim that caja's own subsidio familiar de vivienda, which includes lines for construcción en sitio propio and for mejoramiento. VIS housing carries reduced notarial and registration costs. Confirm your Sisbén group, the current cupos and what may be stacked with the Ministerio de Vivienda and your caja.
CZ — Czechia
Nová zelená úsporám, run by the Státní fond životního prostředí, funds insulation, windows, heat pumps, photovoltaics and rainwater systems, with a Light variant that pays low-income pensioners and benefit recipients up front instead of in arrears. Oprav dům po babičce pays families with children a lump sum toward a comprehensive renovation of a family house, with a bonus per child. The Státní fond podpory investic lends for owner-occupied housing and for municipal rental stock. All are budget-limited calls that open and close. Confirm the open call and its conditions with SFŽP and SFPI.
DE — Germany
KfW 300 (Wohneigentum für Familien) lends to families buying or building an energy-efficient first home at below-market interest. The Bundesförderung für effiziente Gebäude funds refurbishment through KfW 261, the KfW 458 Heizungsförderung for replacing a heating system, and BAFA grants for single measures. Households renovating their own home can instead claim the §35c EStG income tax reduction — but not both for the same work. Confirm current rates and income limits with KfW, BAFA and your Finanzamt.
DK — Denmark
Energistyrelsen runs two construction-relevant subsidy pools. Energirenoveringspuljen pays fixed rates for insulation, energy-efficient windows, balanced ventilation and water-borne heating in an owner-occupied year-round home with an energy label of D to G. Varmepumpepuljen pays a fixed amount for switching to an air-to-water or ground-source heat pump. Both are first-come first-served, must be applied for BEFORE work starts, and require a CVR-registered contractor. Confirm the current rate table and remaining budget at sparenergi.dk.
EG — Egypt
The Social Housing and Mortgage Finance Fund allocates subsidised units and administers the mortgage initiatives funded by the Central Bank of Egypt, which lend to low and middle income buyers at a fixed reduced rate over a long term, subject to household income ceilings and unit price caps. The state housing programme delivers the units themselves, and separate booking rounds exist for Egyptians living abroad. Eligibility turns on household income and on not already owning a home. Confirm current income bands, unit categories and the open booking round with the Fund and the Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities.
ES — Spain
Spain's Plan Estatal de Vivienda funds refurbishment and protected housing, but it is run through each autonomous community's own calls, so the amounts and deadlines are regional. IDAE and the comunidades autónomas fund building energy refurbishment; homeowners can deduct part of the cost of qualifying energy-efficiency work from personal income tax (IRPF), which requires an energy performance certificate before and after; and deliveries of officially protected housing (VPO) carry the 4% super-reduced VAT rate. Confirm the open convocatoria with your comunidad autónoma, the Ministerio de Vivienda and the Agencia Tributaria.
FI — Finland
Finland is a live market on RunMyBuild, but we do not yet publish a grant and incentive summary for it. Finnish housing support — for example ARA energy-renovation aid and assistance for converting away from oil heating — exists, and we will not describe amounts or conditions we have not verified against a primary source. Ask ARA, the Finnish Tax Administration and your municipality what applies to your build.
FR — France
MaPrimeRénov', ANAH grants and the Certificats d'économies d'énergie premiums (including Coup de pouce Chauffage) fund energy renovation work, and the éco-prêt à taux zéro finances the balance interest-free. First-time buyers may qualify for the prêt à taux zéro, the Denormandie scheme rewards renovating in an eligible town centre, and qualifying energy renovation is invoiced at the reduced 5.5% VAT rate. Régions and communes add their own aid. Confirm current amounts with France Rénov' and l'Anah.
GB — United Kingdom
UK government schemes support self-build and first-home buyers, including the Help to Build equity loan for custom and self-build homes, Shared Ownership, and the Lifetime ISA bonus toward a first home.

ID — Indonesia
FLPP (Fasilitas Likuiditas Pembiayaan Perumahan), administered by BP Tapera, is the subsidised mortgage for first-home buyers under an income ceiling, fixed for the whole term; SBUM adds a down-payment grant and the interest-subsidy variant covers buyers just above the FLPP band. BSPS (Bantuan Stimulan Perumahan Swadaya) pays a materials stimulus to households upgrading their own uninhabitable house. Qualifying low-cost homes are also covered by a VAT exemption or by the government-borne VAT incentive. Confirm current income ceilings, price caps and the remaining quota with BP Tapera and the Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat.

IL — Israel
The Ministry of Construction and Housing sells new homes below market value through subsidised lotteries — Mechir LaMishtaken and its successors — open to first-time buyers who register on the ministry's site and are drawn by ballot for a specific project. Households scored on the ministry's points system can draw a state-backed mortgage component, and a first-home buyer pays purchase tax on reduced brackets that are updated annually.

Confirm your eligibility and the open lottery with the Ministry of Construction and Housing and the Israel Tax Authority.

Superbonus has been tapered and is effectively closed to new work. Conto Termico, paid in cash by the GSE, is the alternative for heat pumps, biomass and solar thermal, and the Fondo di garanzia prima casa guarantees mortgages for younger first-time buyers.

The Korea Housing Finance Corporation and HUG run the state-backed loans: Didimdol for buying a first home under a price and income ceiling, Beotimmok for a jeonse deposit, and the newborn special loan for households with a new baby.

Businesses can claim EIA and MIA/Vamil deductions. Confirm current amounts with RVO and your gemeente.

Confirm current rates, criteria and remaining budget with Enova and Husbanken.

PK — Pakistan
Pakistan's subsidised markup scheme for first homes, Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar, stopped taking new applications in 2023, so what is currently available is ordinary and low-cost housing finance from the House Building Finance Company, allotments under the Naya Pakistan Housing Programme and Pakistan Housing Authority schemes, and provincial programmes — for example Punjab's interest-free loans for building on your own plot. Availability and any markup subsidy change with the fiscal year and the State Bank's position. Confirm what is open with HBFC, the Pakistan Housing Authority and your provincial housing department.
PL — Poland
Czyste Powietrze, run by NFOŚiGW and the wojewódzkie fundusze, is the main grant: it pays toward replacing a solid-fuel boiler and toward insulation and windows, at a rate that rises as household income falls. Mój Prąd funds photovoltaics, storage and heat management, Moje Ciepło pays toward a heat pump in a NEW single-family house, and Ciepłe Mieszkanie covers flats in multi-family buildings. Separately, the ulga termomodernizacyjna lets an owner deduct thermal-modernisation spending from taxable income up to a statutory ceiling.

QA — Qatar
Qatar does not operate a general first-home grant open to all residents. Housing support is a citizens' entitlement under Housing Law No. 2 of 2007, delivered by the Ministry of Social Development and Family: a government-built housing unit, or a residential land plot together with an interest-free housing loan repaid from salary, with the category depending on the applicant's status and family circumstances. Expatriate buyers use ordinary bank finance in the designated freehold and leasehold areas. Confirm what applies to your build with the Ministry of Social Development and Family and the Ministry of Municipality.
RO — Romania
Noua Casă, the successor to Prima Casă, is the state-guaranteed mortgage: FNGCIMM guarantees part of the loan for a buyer with a small deposit, within an annual budget and a property price cap. The Administrația Fondului pentru Mediu runs the environmental grants — Casa Verde Fotovoltaice for rooftop solar and Casa Eficientă Energetic for insulation, windows and heat sources — both opened as fixed-window calls that fill within days. Romania's VAT treatment of housing was changed in 2025, so the rate that applies depends on your contract date. Confirm the open session with AFM and the current guarantee ceiling with FNGCIMM.
SA — Saudi Arabia
Sakani, run by the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing with the Real Estate Development Fund, is the single channel for citizens' housing support: an eligible Saudi family is offered a ready unit, an off-plan unit, a serviced plot or a self-construction loan, with the REDF paying part of the profit on the mortgage.

Confirm your priority score and the current offer with Sakani and the REDF.
SE — Sweden
Sweden supports construction work through the income tax system rather than cash grants. ROT-avdrag reduces tax on the LABOUR cost of renovation, extension and rebuilding work on a home you own and live in, and a separate green technology reduction covers solar panels, battery storage and EV charging points. Both are applied straight onto the contractor's invoice (fakturamodellen), so the contractor must hold F-skatt and the dwelling must meet the age and ownership conditions. Confirm current percentages and annual ceilings with Skatteverket.
SG — Singapore
The Enhanced CPF Housing Grant (EHG) and related first-timer support help eligible buyers of HDB flats, with grant quantum scaled to household income. Proximity and family grants may also apply. Confirm current eligibility and amounts with HDB and the CPF Board.
TH — Thailand
The Government Housing Bank is the state instrument, running periodic low fixed-rate campaigns for first-home buyers, for building on your own land and for home improvement, alongside dedicated lines for low-income households and government employees. The National Housing Authority delivers Baan Eua Arthorn and other subsidised units. Cabinet has repeatedly cut the ownership transfer fee and the mortgage registration fee to a nominal rate for homes below a price threshold, always for a defined period that must be checked.

TR — Türkiye
TOKİ is the state housing agency and sells subsidised units on long instalment terms through periodic campaigns, with quotas for first-time buyers, young people, pensioners, families of martyrs and people with disabilities; Emlak Konut develops the market-rate half.

Separate reconstruction aid and credit apply in the provinces affected by the 2023 earthquakes. Confirm the open campaign and what you qualify for with TOKİ and the Çevre, Şehircilik ve İklim Değişikliği Bakanlığı.
TW — Taiwan
The Ministry of the Interior subsidises the interest on loans to build, buy or repair a self-use home, allocated through an annual application round scored on household income and family circumstances rather than paid on demand. The youth preferential housing loan is offered through the Bank of Taiwan and other public banks with a government interest subsidy, a long term and an initial grace period. The expanded rental subsidy and the social housing programme cover renting rather than building. Confirm the current application window, income ceilings and loan limits with the National Land Management Agency of the Ministry of the Interior.
US — United States
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insures loans for qualifying buyers with lower down-payment requirements. Many states and municipalities offer down-payment assistance programmes, homebuyer tax credits, and community development grants. Energy-efficiency incentives (such as IRA-related rebates) may apply to certain construction types.
VN — Vietnam
Vietnam's support is concentrated in nhà ở xã hội (social housing) under the 2023 Housing Law: an eligible buyer — low-income urban households, industrial park workers, armed forces personnel and the others on the statutory list — can borrow at a preferential rate from the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies or from a designated commercial bank under the state credit package for social housing, while developers receive land use fee exemption and tax incentives. The national project targets one million social housing units by 2030. Eligibility is tested on income, tax status and not already owning a home. Confirm the current rate, the package terms and the qualifying projects with VBSP and the Bộ Xây dựng.
ZA — South Africa
First Home Finance (formerly FLISP) pays a sliding-scale subsidy to first-time buyers in the gap market, and fully subsidised housing (RDP/BNG) serves qualifying low-income households. Every new home must be enrolled with the NHBRC, which backs a statutory warranty against major structural defects. Section 12L energy-efficiency, Urban Development Zone and Section 12H learnership allowances reward qualifying construction, and some metros add solar PV rebates. Confirm current thresholds with the Department of Human Settlements, the NHBRC and SARS.
