With a Help to Buy: Equity Loan, the government lends you up to 20% of the cost of your newly built home, which means you only have to contribute a 5% deposit and secure a 75% mortgage.
The government doesn’t charge interest/loan fees on the 20% loan for the first five years that you own your home either. This gives you the chance to save more money towards paying the loan or even a deposit for another property in the future.
If you can’t afford the mortgage on 100% of a home, Help to Buy: Shared Ownership offers you the chance to buy a share of your home (between 25% and 75% of the home’s value) whilst you pay rent on the remaining share.
