It can be a scary thought entering into the unknown world of property ownership without Mortgage Advice in Essex on your side. We’re here to hold your hand throughout the whole Home Buying Process and whatever hurdles we should meet along the way. We’re with you from your initial enquiry right through to you getting your keys and moving in.
The Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme is designed to help First Time Buyers in Essex to buy a new home, with a 5% deposit.
You put down a deposit of at least 5%.
The government lends you up to 20% of the property’s value as an equity loan.
You take out a mortgage on the rest of the property’s value. So if your deposit was 5% and your equity loan was 20%, you’d then take out a 75% mortgage.
We’ll help you with this. Help to Buy Equity loans are only available on new build homes up to the value of £600k. Both home movers and first-time buyers qualify.
You mustn’t own any other property at the time you buy your new home with a Help to Buy Equity Loan. Also, subletting and part-exchange is not allowed.
We are able to provide Help to Buy Mortgage Advice in Essex , as well as help with solicitors and surveys etc. We’ll be able to let you know if you qualify for this scheme and explain it to you properly to make sure you understand what you’re entering into. Also, we’ll let you know if you qualify for a mortgage and how much your repayments will be.
Example: for a home with a £200,000 price tag:
If the home in the example above sold for £200,000, you’d get £160,000 (80%, from your mortgage and the cash deposit) and you’d pay back £40,000 on the loan (20%). You’d need to pay off your mortgage with your share of the money.
It’s very important that you fully understand how this scheme works and the future options here.
This is why speaking to your local Mortgage Broker in Essex will be highly beneficial.
We will always recommend the best option for your individual circumstances and make sure that you feel happy and secure through the whole Help to Buy process.

When utilising the Help-to-Buy scheme, you will need to have saved at least 5% of the sale price of your new build property in Essex. The Government will then be able to loan you up to 20% to the value of the property.
As your mortgage broker in Essex, we will need to carry out a Fact Find to establish what your needs are, prior to us recommending the most suitable mortgage for you and your circumstances. A credit check will be required for an Agreement in Principle. Once you have provided all the relevant documentation and a valuation of the property has been undertaken, you will be able to receive a formal mortgage offer.
To avoid the potential of having an offer rejected, we recommend you obtain an Agreement in Principle before viewing properties in Essex. We recommend that at the very latest, you should obtain one before you look at making an offer, as this can assist your bargaining position.
Your Agreement in Principle will usually last for between 30 and 90 days, depending on the lender that you go with. If it happens to expire, your mortgage broker in Essex can easily refresh this.
If you’re thinking about the future of your property, whether you’re looking at debt consolidation or home improvements, you may eligible for a second mortgage. This may also be a possible option if you’re wanting to use it for yourself, a family member, a holiday home or a Buy to Let.
If you have had previous credit problems, the good news is you can still get a mortgage, though you may possibly have to put down a higher deposit than those with good credit, often around 15% of the property purchase price.
Once you have put forward at least one year’s accounts, you will be able to get a mortgage. A vast amount of lenders will use your salary plus dividend to determine the maximum mortgage you are eligible for, whereas others may go off your net profit.
For an employee to prove their income, they’re usually required to provide three payslips, whilst for self-employed applicants they’ll need the latest 2 years’ accounts. You will also need to present the lender with proof of ID, address and the latest 3 months’ bank statements.
When you engage in a free mortgage consultation with one of our Mortgage Advisors in Essex, your discussion will take around one hour. Our team can usually produce an Agreement in Principle within 24 hours of your appointment and achieve a formal mortgage offer within three weeks.
Give us a call and a Mortgage Advisor in Essex will recommend the best Help to Buy scheme based on personal circumstances.
