In order to reserve a home we will need the following for all purchasers: Proof of identification, proof of current UK address, payment of a discretionary deposit (the amount is set by the developer) and proof of your ability to purchase the property at the agreed price.

First of all, the developer needs to be registered with the Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme before purchasers can apply for government assistance on the site. If the developer is registered then the process is very simple. We offer a free application service to all purchasers wishing to apply for Help to Buy: Equity Loan funding. We will work with your mortgage advisor to complete the application forms on your behalf, using the information you provide us. All you have to do is check, sign and date the forms before we submit them. Getting started is as easy as contacting your local Help to Buy: Equity Loan agent.

Yes. All new build homes must be covered by a government approved warranty scheme. A warranty usually lasts for 10 years but warranty providers do offer 6, 8, 10 and 12 year warranties.

Non-structural items are usually covered in the developer’s warranty which can range between 6 – 24 months cover, depending on the developer.
