FAQs
Who is eligible for Help to Buy?
The Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme is available to both first time buyers and existing home owners. You will need a minimum 5% deposit to qualify. There is no maximum household income to qualify for the scheme, and you can purchase a property with a maximum value of £600,000 in England. The Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme is exclusive to new-build homes only.
How does Help to Buy Equity Loan work?
With Help to Buy Equity Loan, you only need a minimum deposit of 5% of the value of your new home. The government lends you an equity loan of up to 20% of the value of your home, so you’ll only need a 75% mortgage. You will not be charged any loan fees on the equity loan for the first five years of you owning your home.
Can I pay off the equity loan before the end of the first 5 years?
Yes. Once you have purchased your home, you can choose at any time to make voluntary part repayments or a full repayment, based on the market value at that time. The minimum voluntary repayment is 10% of the market value at that time.
Is Help to Buy a shared ownership scheme?
No. With the Help to Buy Equity Loan, you purchase 100% of your home and legally own 100% of your home.
How long will the Help to Buy scheme run for?
The popular Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme has been extended until 2021 through a further £8.6billion in government funding.
