Help to Buy: Equity Loan (2021 – 2023) – England

This offer is only available to eligible first-time purchasers on selected new build plots and developments in England only. This new scheme operates from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2023. The amount you can borrow is dependent on the region the home you wish to buy is in:

Region Price cap

East Midlands £261,900

West Midlands £255,600

South West £349,000

North West £224,400

South East £437,600

London £600,000

Help to Buy is only available on repayment mortgages and on properties which are occupied by the individual or individuals taking out the mortgage.
To access the equity loan, all purchasers must meet the criteria set out by Homes England and you must be approved by the Help to Buy Agent. Further information eligibility criteria is available from: www.ownyourhome.gov.uk/scheme/help-to-buy-2021-2023/
Purchasers are required to raise funding (which includes a mortgage and a deposit) of not less than 80% of the property purchase price (excluding any mortgage fees). The property will be subject to a first charge in favour of the mortgage company. Your deposit must be a minimum of 5% of the full property purchase price. The mortgage lender’s criteria may affect any deposit percentage and whether it applies before or after the equity loan is deducted from the purchase price.
Homes England will provide an equity loan to eligible first-time purchasers of not less than 10% and not more than 20% of the full purchase price subject to the terms of the equity loan agreement. For London, this is up to a maximum of 40%.
The equity loan provided by Homes England will be secured by way of a second charge on the property behind the first charge referred to in item 4.
Purchasers must agree to repay the loan in full, plus any interest accrued and management fees.
For the first 5 years, the equity loan provided by Homes England is interest-free. There is a payment of a £1 monthly management fee to pay by Direct Debit.
From year 6, interest will be payable by you at an annual gross rate of 1.75% of the amount you borrowed. The figure will rise each year in April by the Consumer Prices Index plus 2%. You will also continue to pay the monthly management fee of £1 for the life of the loan. The above fees do not count towards paying back the equity loan.
You must repay the equity loan to Homes England when you: (i) sell the property; or (ii) pay off the repayment mortgage on the property; or (iii) reach the end of the equity loan term which is 25 years from legal completion of the property.
You can repay the equity loan to Homes England at any time following legal completion. Repayment whether in full or in part will be based on the market value of the property at the time of the repayment(s) and you will have to arrange and pay for the valuation of the property at that time. At any time, you can make part repayments of at least 10% of what your home is worth, to reduce how much you owe. For example, you could repay 10% if you took out a 20% loan. Or repay 10%, 20% or 30% at a time if you took out a 40% loan. To work out how much you pay back we need to know the current market value of your home.
If you are selling your property, the equity loan will be repayable on either (i) the market value of your property; or (ii) the price your property sells for, whichever is the highest. This means that if the market value of your property increases, so does the amount you repay on your equity loan. If the value of your property decreases, the amount you owe on your equity loan will also decrease. This may result in Homes England being paid more or less than the original loan value.
If, on the sale of the property, the price of the property has fallen and there is insufficient money from the sale to repay the equity loan after the mortgage has been paid you will lose any deposit you paid towards your property. Homes England will not however seek to recover the balance of their equity loan from you.
Detailed terms and conditions apply to the equity loan which will be made available to the purchaser via their legal advisors as part of the conveyancing process.

Help to Buy – Wales: Equity Loan Phase 3 (From April 2021)

Anyone purchasing a new home under Help to Buy – Wales: Equity Loan is subject to the following terms and conditions:

Help to Buy – Wales: Equity Loan phase 3 (from April 2021) is only available on selected new build plots and developments in Wales only. The maximum property value for Help to Buy – Wales is £250,000.
You must:
Pay a minimum cash deposit of 5% of the purchase price of your new home at exchange of contracts.
Arrange a repayment mortgage of at least 25% of the purchase price of your new home.
An equity loan is secured against your property in the same way a repayment mortgage is. The Help to Buy – Wales: Equity Loan scheme is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
For the first 5 years:
The equity loan is interest-free; You will be required to pay a £1 monthly management fee by Direct Debit.
From year 6:
You will be required to pay the £1 monthly management fee;
You will be required to pay a monthly interest fee of 1.75% of the equity loan;
Interest fees will rise each year in April by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), plus 2%;
You will be required to continue to pay interest until you repay your loan in full.
You must repay the equity loan when you pay off your repayment mortgage, sell your home or reach the end of your loan term, normally 25 years.
You must be able to fund up to 80% of your selected property through a combination of a conventional repayment mortgage, and a minimum cash deposit of 5% of the purchase price. You must take out a first charge repayment mortgage with a qualifying lender. When you buy your new build home with an equity loan, you must be able to afford the monthly fee and interest payments. The home you purchase must be your only home. You must tell us if you or anyone you are buying with has a connection with a homebuilder, as this could affect your eligibility for the equity loan scheme. The Help to Buy – Wales scheme was established to provide support to people who want to become homeowners, who would not otherwise have access to an affordable mortgage or be able to get onto the property ladder. Therefore, if your financial position shows you can secure a 90% first charge mortgage, without the support of Help to Buy Wales, then you will not be offered Help to Buy – Wales assistance. Your Independent Financial Advisor will be able to provide you with further advice.
When you take out your equity loan, you agree to repay it in full, plus interest and management fees. You must repay your equity loan in full: (8.1) at the end of the equity loan term; or (8.2) when you pay off your repayment mortgage; or (8.3) when you sell your home; or (8.4) if you do not comply with the terms set out in the equity loan contract and we ask you to repay the loan in full. There are no monthly equity loan repayments to reduce the total amount of equity loan you borrow. You can pay off all or part of your equity loan any time before then.
Further details on the scheme can be found at https://gov.wales/help-buy-wales
