BASICS - the Help to Buy Scheme was designed to help first time buyers purchase newly built properties. The basic scheme is for the purchaser to provide a 5% deposit, the Home and Communities Agency (HCA) or Government provide a maximum of 20% (maximum 40% in London) of the deposit and the mortgage lender makes up the remaining 75%. The 20% loan deposit does require repayment after 25 years or sooner if the property is sold but is interest free for five years. When it comes to paying back the loan, this is calculated at 20% of the current Market Valuation – and this is provided by the RICS Registered Valuer with the Help to Buy Valuation Report.
