What is the Your First Home scheme?

Your First Home will allow eligible first-time buyers to get the keys to a new Linden home with just a 2.5% deposit.

This will be complemented by a 20% equity loan from the government, to help first-time buyers pay for the purchase. The loan will also initially be interest-free to ensure it remains affordable.

For example, if you were to purchase one of our new build homes for £300,000, you would be able to put down a deposit for £7,500 and access a loan for up to £60,000.

More details, including costs, eligibility and timelines, will be confirmed by the Chancellor in the Budget on 28 October 2026.

You’ll be able to register below shortly to ensure that you’ll be among the first to hear about Linden homes that will be available through the Your First Home scheme when it officially launches.
