There is a second option in the Help
to Buy Scheme called the equity loan. It is available on new build properties
only using a government equity loan of 20% of the purchase price plus a
traditional mortgage. Lenders will need to make suitable mortgage products available and due
to the short notice of the announcement products may not be available.
So with a Help to Buy Equity Loan,
the government loans you up to 20% of the cost of a new-build, so you only need
a 5% deposit and a 75% mortgage to make up the rest. The property will be in
your name, which means you can sell it at any time. However, as this is an
equity loan, you'll have to pay back the loan amount when you sell your home or
at the end of your mortgage period - whichever comes first.
The amount to be paid back is 20% of
the sale price. You won't be charged loan fees on the 20% equity loan for the
first 5 years of owning your home. In the 6th year you will be charged a fee of
1.75% of the loan's value, which will increase every year by the retail price
index plus 1%.
For Help to buys schemes
the home must be your only property and it is only available to British
citizens for properties in England. Borrowing is only available from
participating mortgage lenders our experienced IFA’s at Enable can help you
decide what is best for you
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
