How Wainhomes and Help to Buy can help you find your new home
Help to Buy is the Government Scheme, which was launched in the 2013 budget, designed to help people purchase a new property with just 5% deposit by way of an equity loan from the Government of up to 20%. The aim of this scheme is to increase the supply of new homes in addition to the number of lower deposit mortgages with more favourable borrowing rates to the market.
Buying a new Wainhome has never been more affordable, thanks to Help to Buy; it can allow you to access a wider range of mortgage products at 75% loan to value. There are currently two different options for you to pursue if you're interested in a Help to Buy scheme which are Equity Loan and Mortgage Guarantee.
With significantly lower monthly repayments, it’s never been a better time to buy - take a look at our developments now.
- Help to Buy has helped over 77,000 people in the UK move since it was introduced
- You may only need a 5% deposit
- The Government will lend you up to 20% of the purchase price (called an equity loan) interest free for the first 5 years
- Helps you to secure a 75% mortgage
