The Help To Buy Equity Loan Scheme is available on new build homes and enables first-time buyers to reserve a home with a 5% deposit, topped up with a 20% government backed equity loan, which is interest-free for the first five years, and a 75% mortgage.

Here’s Cavanna Homes’ five simple steps to help get you started.

Step 1 – Save for your deposit

A 5% deposit is less than what you’d usually need to get a mortgage, so you could buy a brand-new home sooner than you think.

Step 2 – Find your new dream home

It’s important to note that there is a regional price cap on eligible homes as part of the Equity Loan Scheme. In the South West, this price cap is up to £349,000.

Step 3 – Contact our Sales Advisor

Once you’ve found your new dream home, contact our friendly Sales Advisor at your chosen development to find out more.
