As a registered member of the Help-to-Buy (Scotland) Affordable New Build Scheme, R S McLeod are delighted to be able to offer our affordable homes to qualifying buyers who could secure a home with just 5% deposit.
The Help-to-Buy (Scotland) scheme enables first time buyers and existing property owners to buy a new build home and achieve a better mortgage rate by providing up to 15% of the purchase price interest free. Therefore, along with a 5% deposit, purchasers can apply for a mortgage for the remaining 80% achieving much lower interest rate and monthly premium.
Example:
£200,000 home
You (the buyer) – 5% = £10,000
Help-to-Buy (Scotland) – 15% = £30,000
Mortgage – 80% = £160,000
- The scheme is not open to part exchange, buy-to-let or self-build properties
- The Government will own a 15% shared equity in your property through the agreement
- Available on homes up to £200,000 until 31st of March 2019.
