First time buyers can move with just a 5% deposit
Help To Buy Is Changing
Changes to the scheme will be introduced in April 2021 which will reduce eligibility to first-time buyers only. The introduction of new regional price caps will also limit the properties eligible to be purchased using the scheme. Applications under the current criteria closed on 15th December 2020 and current purchasers must legally complete by 31st March 2021.
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:

- 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.
*Help to Buy purchasers are required to fund at least 80% of the purchase price by means of a conventional mortgage, savings and any deposit where required. Eligible applicants will be offered an equity loan of 20% of the market price, interest free for the first five years. At the start of year six a fee of 1.75% is payable on the equity loan, which rises annually by RPI inflation plus 1%. Terms and conditions apply and full details will be provided on request. Only available on selected properties in England. YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE. Please ask our Sales Advisor for full terms and conditions.
