WHAT IS HELP TO BUY?
The Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme is a government incentive designed to give first time buyers a helping hand to take their first step onto the property ladder. Provided that you are eligible, the government will lend first time buyers up to 20% of the purchase price of a new home without charging any interest.
HOW DOES HELP TO BUY WORK?
When purchasing a home with the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme, the government will lend first time buyers up to 20% of the value of a new home. That loan is interest-free for five years.
That means first time buyers can buy with a deposit of just 5% of the purchase price. Buyers will still need to secure a mortgage on the remaining 75% of the purchase price.
AM I ELIGIBLE FOR HELP TO BUY?
To be eligible for Help to Buy, you must be 18 years old or over, a first-time buyer and able to afford the fees and interest payments for the property. You will not be eligible for Help to Buy if you have ever owned a home in the UK or abroad.
The property you are buying must also be a new home sold by a Help to Buy registered homebuilder like YTL Developments. You cannot purchase a second hand or re-sale property with Help to Buy.
