Help to Buy
What is it?
Help to Buy is available to first time home buyers and home movers looking to move into a new build home with a price of up to £600,000. The Government will lend you up to 20% of the purchase price and you won’t be charged fees* on this loan for the first five years of home ownership. This means you will only need a 75% mortgage and a 5% cash deposit to buy your new home. This scheme is only available in England.
​
