Key Worker Mortgage
Key worker mortgages are part of a government scheme designed to aid people who provide vital services, such as; fire fighters, nurses, teachers, social workers, prison officers and police officers to get on the property ladder. These schemes have however become less common due to the creation of other schemes such as Help to Buy.
Help to Buy
Equity Loan:
Saving up a large enough deposit for a home can be difficult, however a help to buy equity loan mortgage allows a saver to put down as little as 5% of the property price, the Government also contribute a 20% loan to the cost of the newly built home (40% in the Greater London area only) allowing savers to get a 75% Loan to Value (LTV) mortgage to cover the rest. Borrowers won’t be charged any loan fees on the 20% loan for the first five years of owning the property.
The eligibility criteria for an equity loan includes that the property must be newly built, with a maximum price of £600,000. You cannot let the property out and cannot own any other property at the time you purchase your new property.
Mortgage Guarantee:
With a Mortgage Guarantee scheme, lenders can purchase a guarantee from the Government on a mortgage loan for up to £30,000. Because of the guarantee lenders who take part in the scheme are able to offer home buyers mortgages with higher LTVs.
In order to be eligible for a mortgage guarantee; the property can have up to a maximum price of £600,000 however it can be either a new-build or existing home. The borrower must not own any other property anywhere in the world at the time of purchase. The mortgage has to be a repayment plan rather than interest only, the size of the mortgage can be to a maximum of 4.5 times the borrower’s income. This scheme is not available for buy to let property purchases.
You cannot apply for a Help to Buy mortgage deal in conjunction with any of the Government’s other home ownership schemes, such as Shared Equity schemes.
In order to be eligible for the Help to Buy mortgage scheme, you must be a UK citizen or have the right to remain indefinitely in the UK. The scheme only applies to properties in the UK.
