HELP TO BUY

If you’re wanting to climb onto the property ladder in Yorkshire and The Humber, the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme could help you do that sooner than you first thought. With Help to Buy you could use a 5% deposit with a 75% mortgage and a 20% equity loan which is interest free for the first five years, to buy a home up to £228,100.

We could also incorporate/add the below: Help to Buy Option 1 – Equity Loan

  • You only need a 5% deposit
  • Available for new build homes
  • Available to first-time buyers and existing homeowners (who have sold their home)
  • The government will lend you up to 20% of the value of the new property
  • You will own 100% of your home
  • Equity loan is interest free for 5 years

Help to Buy Option 2 – ISA

  • Raise the deposit on your first home faster
  • Save up to £200 pm and the government will add an extra 25% – a £50 bonus for every £200 saved
  • To a maximum amount of £3,000 per person

How do I pay off the Government loan?

You won’t be charged loan fees for the first 5 years of owning your home. In the 6th year, you’ll be charged a fee of 1.75% of the loan’s value. After this, the fee will increase every year for up to 20 years. The increase is worked out by using the Retail Prices Index plus 1%.
