Raising a large deposit is being ranked as the number one issue stopping First Time Buyers getting onto the property ladder
With this in mind, the advent of the Help to Buy (HTB) mortgage was created. With a Help to Buy mortgage not only do you need a much smaller deposit (typically 5%) but you will also be armed with a government backed equity loan of the value anywhere up to 20% of the purchase price of the property.
For example. If you are purchasing a brand new home for £200,000, you would only need a £10,000 deposit and have a government backed deposit of up to £40,000. This means a mortgage of only £150,000 would be needed to get your dream property.
This in a lot of cases would be otherwise unattainable but the Help to Buy mortgage allows clients to realise their mortgage dreams without having to pay over the odds for it.
