Help to Buy: Equity Loan (scheme ends in 2022) for First Time Buyers in Letchworth; you'll need a minimum of a 5% deposit and a Help to Buy mortgage.

Help to Buy

LISA instead of Help to Buy ISA

The Help to Buy ISA is no longer available since the 30th November 2019. There is a replacement scheme called Lifetime ISA (LISA). The Lifetime ISA has different rules around its use, however it can be used to fund the purchase of a property under the Help to Buy scheme.

What is Help to Buy?

The Government’s Help to Buy Equity Loan initiative in Letchworth allows eligible people to buy properties with as little as a 5% deposit. The maximum purchase price of any property you buy is £600,000.

The Government provides you with a loan of up to 20% of the property's purchase price and you have to secure a mortgage for the remaining 75%.

For properties in the London area, the London Help to Buy scheme operates. It is broadly the same as the Help to Buy Equity Loan, except the Government provides a loan of up to 40% of the purchase price, to reflect the higher property prices in London, so a mortgage must be secured for the remaining 55% of the purchase price.

Help to Buy Letchworth - Who is the local agent?

The choice of properties in Letchworth which you can buy using the Help to Buy initiative can be found out about by contacting your local Help to Buy agent. You can find out their contact details by enquiring to the North Hertfordshire District Council, Council Offices, Gernon Road, Letchworth Garden City SG6 3JF, telephone 01462 474 000 .

Help to Buy Equity Loan repayments, mortgages and selling your home

When you use the Equity Loan to buy a property in Letchworth, no repayments on the Government loan need to be made for 5 years.

The loan is cheaper to finance than it would be on the open market and you only have to get a mortgage for a maximum of 75% of the property’s value. 

That said, the Government has a charge on your property in Letchworth, worth up to 20% (40% for London Help to Buy), as well as the mortgage lender’s charge. Until the Government loan is repaid, on sale, the Government will be due up to 20% of on any increase in the property value.
