We have many people asking us about the government’s Help to Buy Scheme… If you are saving to buy your first home, you may benefit from saving money into a Help to Buy: ISA. In doing so, the Government will boost your savings by 25%. Therefore, for every £200 you save, you will receive a government bonus of £50 – sound good? The Help to Buy: ISA is available to open from a range of banks, building societies and credit unions and the accounts are available to each first time buyer (not each household). This means that if you’re planning to buy with your partner, for example, you could receive a government bonus of up to £6,000 towards your first home! You are able to save up to £200 a month into your Help to Buy: ISA and to kickstart your account, you can deposit a lump sum of up to £1,200 in your first month. When you are close to buying your first home, you will need to instruct your solicitor or conveyancer to apply for your government bonus. Once they receive this, it will be added to the money you are putting towards your first home. The bonus must be included with the funds consolidated at the completion of the property transaction. Additionally, the bonus cannot be used for the deposit due at the exchange of contracts, to pay for solicitor’s, estate agent’s fees or any other indirect costs associated with buying a home. To find out more about this service as well as the services we offer, please get in touch or call +44 (0) 20 3858 0313. The minimum government bonus is £400, meaning that you need to have saved at least £1,600 into your Help to Buy: ISA before you can claim your bonus. The maximum government bonus you can receive is £3,000 – to receive that, you need to have saved £12,000.
