Help to Buy
This scheme is designed to help people get on or move up the property ladder with an affordable new-build home in Scotland.
Under the scheme, the Scottish Government takes an equity stake of up to 15% of the total value of the property.
With the Help to Buy equity loan scheme, you’ll need as little as 5% deposit and 80% mortgage to buy a new home. This could make your mortgage repayments more affordable and is exclusively available on new homes.
Buying a house through the Help to Buy scheme
The Scottish Help to Buy equity loan is interest free forever. It makes it less risky for lenders to offer a mortgage to a borrower with only a 5% deposit. Which means you should get a much more favorable interest rate, than previously available with a small deposit. A mortgage under the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme works like any other mortgage.
Your lender will check that you can afford it and that you do not have a history of payment difficulties.
