Help to Buy Scheme Overview

Who is Eligible? If you’re buying your main property up until 30 June 2021, you will not have to pay Stamp Duty on properties costing up to £500,000. This will apply whether you’re a first-time buyer or have previously owned a property. From 1 July to 30 September 2021, you will not have to pay Stamp Duty on residential properties costing up to £250,000. If you’re a first-time buyer, you will pay no Stamp Duty on properties costing up to £300,000, and a discounted rate, up to £500,000. From 1 October, you will pay Stamp Duty on properties costing more than £125,000 for residential properties, unless you’re a first-time buyer. If you’re buying a second home, you’ll still pay an extra 3% Stamp Duty on properties costing more than £40,000 at the relevant rate at that time.
How does it work? The Government, through the Homes & Community Agency, will lend you up to 20% (minimum 5%) of the market value of your brand new home, up to a maximum purchase price of £224,400*. We know how difficult it can be to raise a large deposit to purchase your first home. With Help to Buy you’ll need to save just a 5% deposit to get a mortgage. With your 5% deposit, the 20% equity loan from the Government and a 75% mortgage loan, you could purchase your first home sooner than you thought. * This is the maximum Help to Buy price cap applicable to the North West. The figures varies in other parts of the country.
How to Apply? Before you get started, make sure you have the funds to pay for: the Reservation Fee of £500.00 (Refundable if you do not complete your purchase) a minimum 5% deposit, payable upon exchange of contracts (if you have a larger deposit, you pay the rest on completion) other fees on completion (legal fees and mortgage fees). check that the equity loan meets your needs and that you can afford to repay it. Consider seeking independent advice to help you understand your financial situation.
