What is Help to Buy – Wales?

Help to Buy – Wales is a scheme that makes it easier for first time buyers and existing homeowners to purchase a new home. With just a 5% deposit, you can access a shared equity loan of up to 20%, helping to make your dream home more affordable.

If you’re thinking of buying your first home or looking for a fresh start, this scheme puts buying a brand new home within reach.

How does Help to Buy – Wales work?

Here’s a simple breakdown of how the scheme can help you buy a new home.

  • You only need a 5% deposit
  • The Welsh Government lends you up to 20% of the value of the property
  • The loan is interest-free for five years
  • You need to secure a 75% mortgage
  • Available on homes up to the value of £300,000

5% deposit + 20% equity loan + 75% mortgage = 100% home ownership.
