Help-to-Buy mortgages

We could get you onto the property ladder with a Help-to-Buy mortgage

With a Help-to-Buy mortgage you only need to put down 5% of a home’s value for a deposit. The Government will the boost this amount with an equity loan of up to 20%. At Clever Mortgages we work with many lenders who could offer you a Help-to-Buy mortgage whether you’re a first-time buyer or purchasing a new home.

  • From only 5% deposit required
  • Government equity loan of 20% (40% in London)
  • 75% (55% London) mortgage needed
  • Competitive rates
Helping a customer get onto the property ladder through the Help-to-Buy scheme Mr B wanted to get back onto the property ladder but was struggling as he’d been in an IVA and only had a small deposit. With Clever Mortgages he was able to:
  • Use the Help-to-Buy scheme to increase his deposit and secure a better interest rate
  • Take out a mortgage with a high street bank with a term of 20 years
  • Secure a fixed rate for five years of stable payments
  • Buy a property that was being advertised as ‘deal of the month’ with a quick sale incentive
  • Complete the purchase just four weeks after applying
  • Mr B was self-employed, but as he was paid via the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), we could use gross income

Mr B was 49 and decided it was time to get back on the housing ladder. He wasn’t sure what options he had though as he’d been in an IVA and only had a small deposit. Plus, as he was a self-employed builder on the Construction Industry Scheme, his net profit was almost a third less than his gross income.

At Clever Mortgages we were able to help as we knew high street lender would class him as self-employed and use his gross income to allow him to borrow what he needed to buy the property. The Help-to-Buy scheme was also used to increase Mr B’s deposit and give him a better interest rate.

He secured his property for a great price and also benefitted from ‘Deal of the week’ incentives from the agent. We enabled him to take advantage of this by completing the application after just four weeks.
