Help to Buy has changed

The new Help to Buy 2021-2023 scheme is now in place meaning that Help to Buy is now exclusively for first-time buyers. You could still borrow up to 20% of the cost of a new build home (or 40% in London), but regional caps have been introduced, leaving you to spend between £186,100 and £437,600 on your new home (or £600,000 in London), depending on where it’s located. If you’re an existing homeowner wanting to move, you can check out our other helpful purchase schemes.

Help to Buy scheme – Here’s How It Works

You’ll need your own 5% deposit

Get a 20% equity loan from the government*

Buy the home you need now with a 75% mortgage

Available to first time buyers

So what's involved?

Choose from our range of stunning new homes available under the scheme, with a purchase price of between £186,100 and £437,600 (or £600,000 in London).

Our independent mortgage advisors can then take you through the prequalification process. Subject to approval, the government will agree to lend you up to 20% of the purchase price through an equity loan.

You’ll need a 5% deposit to secure a conventional mortgage for up to 75% of the purchase price.

You’ll need to pay a reservation fee of £500† to secure your home for a specified period.

You’ve now secured your new Linden home and can look forward to adding the personal touches and moving in.
