London Help to Buy
How does Help to Buy work?
With the Government backed Help to Buy scheme, buyers in London can get assistance buying a home with an equity loan of up to 40% of the property purchase price. The Help to Buy equity loan limit was raised from 20% to 40% of the properties purchase value for homes in all London boroughs to reflect the higher property values seen across London.
You will need to contribute as little as a 5% deposit on a newly built home and your mortgage will make up the rest after the 40% equity loan. Currently London Help to Buy equity loans are available to buyers looking to purchase a new build home with a purchase price up to £600,000.
Example: for a home purchased for £400,000
If the home you purchased was £400,000, you will need a (5%) cash deposit of £20,000. You would get £220,000 (55%) from your mortgage with a commercial lender and the remaining £160,000 (40%) from a Government loan. You would need to pay off your mortgage with your share of the money.
| Cost of your home | £400,000 |
| Your 5% deposit | £20,000 |
| Government 40% loan | £160,000 |
| Commercial lender 55% mortgage | £220,000 |
