Help to Buy (England)

Buy now with just 5% deposit

Help to Buy is a product in the Government’s HomeBuy range designed to help buyers in England buy your new home in an affordable way. Help to Buy will enable an eligible buyer to purchase a brand new property, funded by an affordable mortgage and with assistance from a HomeBuy Agency.

Help to Buy gives you the chance to buy a new home with the assistance of an equity stake. The value of the stake is a maximum of 20% of the full price of the property. The maximum full purchase price is set at £600,000.

Under Help to Buy, the government provides an equity stake as follows:

  • Government provides an equity stake of 20%
  • You arrange a mortgage for 75%
  • Meaning your deposit is 5%
