You are probably aware of help to buy has now finished. Perhaps you have heard about shared ownership, or part buy part rent. This is another affordable housing tenure. Others include the First Homes Scheme and Rent To Buy.

What first time home buyer schemes are there?

Shared ownership has been around for several decades now. With Help To Buy finishing in March 2023 it is now one of the key affordable homes tenures to get your first steps on the property ladder.

You will most likely need a 5% deposit on your share of the property. However, this will depend on the shared ownership lender.

What is the first homes scheme for first time buyers?

First Homes is a government scheme aimed at local and key workers looking to buy their first home.

Typically, if they meet the local connection criteria, they can get a discount of at least 30% on new build homes.

Also, household income should not exceed £80,000 and £90,000 in London (or lower if set by the local authority).

A key worker can be the likes of those in the armed forces, doctors, nurses and teachers. It can also include delivery drivers and supermarket staff.  Housing providers will be able to give you more details around any key worker restrictions that may or may not apply.

You will need to have a local connection in relation to meet the first time buyer criteria for these homes. It has to be the first home you have owned. More details can be found on the government’s Own Your Home website.

Will there be a new government scheme to replace Help To Buy to help First Time Buyers?

This remains to be seen. At the moment as we mentioned above there is the Rent To Buy, First Homes Scheme and Shared Ownership.

It may be best speaking to local authorities for further information to see if they know of any plans of any slightly different models that may be in the pipeline.

Are first time buyer houses for sale all new builds?

Not necessarily. Depending on your financial situation if you are buying a home outright with a deposit and a mortgage you may find special deals offered to you by house builders on some of their new build schemes.

Even if you are looking at the part buy part rent option of shared ownership you may want a new build property.

However, you don’t have to buy new build for either shared ownership or outright sale properties. You can look at resale properties either via our website or looking at other websites to see what is available.
