Your First Home

Helping secure Your First Home

The Government's new Your First Home scheme is designed to help more first-time buyers purchase a new-build home with a smaller upfront deposit.

The scheme will be aimed at first-time buyers in England, particularly those with a regular income who have struggled to save a large deposit.

Detailed eligibility criteria, income thresholds and property price caps will be announced by the Chancellor at the Budget in October.

How does it work?

Final details for the scheme are still to be confirmed by the Government, however with Your First Home, eligible buyers may be able to:

  • Buy a new-build home with just a 2.5% deposit
  • Access a Government equity loan of up to 20% of the property's value
  • Benefit from an initial interest-free period on the equity loan
  • Take a step onto the property ladder sooner than they might otherwise be able to
