Amendment to the Help to Buy Scheme
Reasons to choose Wilson Browne
Help to Buy is a Government backed equity loan scheme available to homebuyers of new build homes, available to make moving more affordable.
The scheme has been helping homebuyers onto the property ladder since 2013, initially any buyer, subsequently limited to first time buyers, who can proceed with just a 5% deposit.
The current scheme is now set to be withdrawn in March 2023, some two months earlier than originally planned.
This means that any homebuyers hoping to utilise the scheme will need to reserve their properties earlier, and no later than 31st October 2022. This will hopefully provide sufficient time for homebuyers to complete their purchase before the scheme ends in March 2023.
Full details of the scheme can be found here
