Is the news hare scheme Shariah compliant ?

Fatawa Question

My local council offers this scheme, called newham news hare. From the website it states : “An equity loan from us will make up the difference. The type of property you want to buy will decide what percentage of the cost you will have to fund from a mortgage and deposit. Equity loan fee When you buy your home, you will pay a yearly fee of 1.75 per cent on our equity loan. This increases annually in line with the Retail Price Index plus one percentage point. Your fee will reduce as you pay off the loan.”. Would the equity loan fee be considered interest ?
