Discover how it works.
What is Help to Buy?
With Help to Buy, you could buy a brand-new home sooner than you think.
- You only need a 5% deposit.
- The Government lends you up to 20% of the value of the property.
- The loan is interest-free for 5 years, making your dream home more affordable.
- You then need to secure a 75% mortgage.
There are a range of competitive mortgage rates available with this scheme, so it’s worth comparing lenders to find the best deal. We can introduce you to a New Home Mortgage Adviser who’ll search the market to find you a great deal.
Homes that qualify
The scheme is available exclusively on new build homes up to the property value of:
- £600,000 in England
