It’s never been more affordable or accessible to purchase a new build home in Wales.

Help to Buy – Wales is a government-backed scheme designed to help existing homeowners or first-time buyers buy a new build home with just a 5% deposit. The scheme is available for all new-build houses with an EPC rating of B or higher and a purchase price of no more than £300,000.

How does Help to Buy - Wales Work?

Help to Buy - Wales provides an equity loan from the Welsh government. If you’re eligible, you can borrow up to 20% of the property’s market value to top up your deposit and reduce your mortgage costs. That loan is interest-free for the first five years!

You must be able to fund up to 80% of your selected property through a combination of a conventional repayment mortgage and a minimum cash deposit of 5% of the purchase price.
