Other banks are launching competing Help to Buy mortgage products, with Halifax and HSBC offering similar deals later this year. Virgin Money and Aldermore are planning to offer Help to Buy mortgages from January 2014.
Buy with as little as 5% deposit
The Help To Buy schemes is designed to assist those who are unable to save up a substantial deposit necessary for buying a property. Prospective homeowners could have the option to buy with a deposit of as little as 5% of the property value. The Government offers a guarantee of 15% of the loan to the lender. The scheme will be available for first-time buyers and home movers borrowing to buy homes up to a value of £600,000.

Representative Example:
A repayment mortgage of £120,000 payable over 28 years and 1 month initially on a fixed rate for 2 years at 1.99% and then on the lender current variable rate of 3.69% (variable) for the remaining 26 years and 1 month would require 24 monthly payments of £465.20 and 312 monthly payments of £565.39 and one final payment of £565.19.
The total amount payable would be £189,357.67 made up of the loan amount plus interest (£68,161.67), booking fee (£999), completion fee (£30) and valuation fee (£197).
In this example the overall cost for comparison is 3.7% APRC representative.
