First time buyer? Start your journey with just a 5% deposit and Help To Buy
If you’re a first-time buyer in England, you can apply for a Help to Buy: Equity Loan (2021-2023) to help pay for your new-build home. This is a loan from the government that allows you to borrow less by means of a mortgage, helping to reduce your monthly payments in the first 5 years.
You can borrow a minimum of 5% and up to a maximum of 20% (40% in London) of the full purchase price of a new-build home. You must buy your home from a home builder registered for Help to Buy: Equity Loan and regional price caps will apply. Scroll down to view the regional price caps applied in your chosen area.
To find out more, speak to one of our Sales Advisors. They will explain the new scheme in detail and put you in touch with an Independent Financial Advisor.

can afford with Help to Buy:
- Applies to first-time buyers only (2021-23)
- You only need a 5% deposit
- Qualify for up to a 20% interest-free government loan*
- Enjoy better rates on a 75% mortgage

As long as you have a 5% deposit, the government will lend you up to 20% of the value of the property through an equity loan. This is interest-free for the first five years and you can repay it when you sell your home or any time before. You’ll then only need to get a 75% mortgage, which opens the door to a choice of better rates and lower repayments.
