Help to Buy is a Government scheme which aims to help people get on the property ladder. The scheme has two parts; Shared Ownership and Equity Loan.
Shared Ownership enables you to buy shares in a property and you then pay rent on the remaining portion. You are able, when you are ready, to buy additional shares until you fully own your home.
Equity Loan - With Help to Buy new homes, the Government will lend up to 20% towards the cost of purchasing your new home, this means you only need a 5% deposit and a 75% mortgage. If you are looking to buy a property in London, the percentage the Government will lend you increases to 40%. However, the property must cost no more than £600,000.
