Help to Buy
Just like what it says on the tin, Help to Buy is a great way to get on the property ladder for first time buyers. With a 5% deposit and 20% equity loan help to buy takes the pressure off house buying and cuts down those initial payments. In 2021 Help to Buy has seen a few changes including the price cap becoming regional. This means if you’re living in London help to Buy applies to homes up to properties of a value of 400,000, whereas in places like greater Manchester the caps look a little more 225,000. The scheme is well worth looking at especially if you’re thinking about living in London as the equity loan increases to 40% in this region. The loan also comes with no interest for 5 years and is a great option to take the process at a pace that suits you without the stress. And from Croydon to Liverpool, there’s something to suit everyone.
