Help to buy was introduced by the government, originally designed to help first time buyers in Cambridge take that first step on the property ladder. One of the most common types of this scheme is the Help to Buy Scheme. The main thing when obtaining a mortgage is finding out if you are eligible for the scheme you are interested in as well as matching you up to lender criteria.
This is where taking out mortgage advice in Cambridge can be really helpful as they can help you with the factors mentioned above along with matching you up most suitable mortgage lender.
By getting in touch with a reputable and expert mortgage broker in Cambridge, like ourselves, you will be able to see whether you are eligible or not for a Help to Buy in Cambridge prior to applying for one.
Here at Cambridgemoneyman, our team of expert help to buy advisors in Cambridge will advise you on the most appropriate route for your situation. As well as this, they will match you up to a range of different lenders' criteria to see where you match up. By doing this, you have the best chance of mortgage success while staying relatively close to what you were looking to do.
The government have added a wide variety of schemes to their Help to Buy portfolio. Most of them require you to be a first time buyer to access them, whereas, others can be accessed by other homebuyers such as those looking at moving home.
The schemes available include the Lifetime ISA, Shared Ownership, Mortgage Guarantee and First-Home. There are more to choose from, which you can find on the government's OwnYourHome website.
This answer can change from scheme to scheme, for example, with the Shared Ownership scheme, you put down your deposit based on the percentage share of the property that you are taking out, therefore, it can change each time.
For most mortgages, however, you will need to provide at least a 5% deposit. This percentage can reach up to 10% or 15% if you have bad credit.
Schemes such as the Lifetime ISA can help you build up your mortgage deposit and it is worth setting this up years before you are planning to buy a property.
