Ten years after its enactment in April 2013, the Support Purchase Capital Loan Program will expire on March 31, 2023.
But if you think that sounds like centuries, it is not.
The deadline to apply for the scheme is October 31 of this year at 6:00 p.m.
Initially, purchase assistance was available to both first-time buyers and existing homeowners of newly selected homes up to 000600,000.
However, since the introduction of low price restrictions in the region last year, it has been limited to first-time buyers who cannot access mortgages due to lack of deposits.
This means credit buyers with a 5% cash deposit can apply for a government-sponsored loan at 20% of the purchase price.
This means they only need a 75% mortgage, so they have better access to deals than when they borrow more. To reflect high property prices, the maximum loan amount in 2016 was doubled to 40% in London, requiring 55% mortgages.
The loan is interest-free for the first 5 years (although there is a monthly management fee). From the 6th year we will pay interest of 1.75% per month and add 2% per year to the consumer price index.
When you sell your home, you will be reimbursed as a percentage of the market value, but this may be faster.
The plan was criticized, including by those who blamed rising house prices, but it was a lifesaver for many.
According to recent government data, since 2013, 355,634 homes have been purchased with Help to Buy loans, representing 83% of first-time buyers.
As the deadline approaches, inventories of homes offering this scheme are already running low. So check out the reviews and start booking your views now.
