Are you a First Time Buyer?

Are you a First Time Buyer?


What do you need to do when looking to buy a house for the first time?

The first step would be to speak to a financial adviser to ascertain how much you can borrow for a mortgage on the purchase of a property.

If you have an existing help to buy ISA, you will be able to use the savings and claim the government bonus provided the purchase price is less than £250,000 (or £450,000 in London) and you have at least £1,600 saved up. If you have a Lifetime ISA (LISA) then the account must have been open for at least a year.

You may be entitled to apply for the Equity Loan Help to Buy scheme which offers a 20% loan which is interest-free for the first five years although this only applies for new build homes where the developer is signed up to the scheme.
