What is Help to Buy?

Help to Buy is a Government-backed scheme to help first-timebuyers buy a new build home. With Help to Buy, the Government give you an equity loan which is interest-free for five years. This means you could buy a home with as little as a 5% deposit. To be eligible for Help to Buy:

  • Your home must be a new build
  • Your home must not cost more than £600,000
  • You must intend to live in the property yourself
  • You must be a first-time buyer

What’s different about Help to Buy in London?

As property prices tend to be more expensive in London than elsewhere in the UK, you’ll get access to a larger loan if you buy within the Help to Buy London area. A larger loan means you’d need a smaller mortgage to buy.

  Loan amount
(% of property price) 		Minimum deposit
(% of property price) 		Mortgage
(% of property price)
London 40% 5% 55%
Rest of UK 20% 5% 75%

The Help to Buy London property price limit is £600,000. This means the Government will lend you up to £240,000 to help you buy your new home.
