Home movers should look at Help to Buy - Connells

The Government-backed scheme is open to home movers as well as first-time buyers and could offer the ideal solution to anyone who wants to take their next step up the property ladder.

Connells has already helped numerous home movers secure their next home using Help to Buy.

Mortgage services sales manager Amy Nash said: “Historically, the Government’s home buying schemes have been restricted to those who are buying a home for the first time, but this isn’t the case with Help to Buy.

“Many home movers are keen to purchase a larger property, perhaps to accommodate a growing family, and Help to Buy could help them achieve this.”

Help to Buy offers both an equity loan scheme for new build homes and a mortgage guarantee option which covers all types of property. Both enable purchasers to buy a home with only a 5 per cent deposit. The scheme has been instrumental in boosting buyer confidence, as well as the ability to buy for many home purchasers.

Amy Added: “Using Help to Buy could mean buyers can potentially afford a larger property which will fulfil their needs for a longer time period rather than having to upsize again a few years down the line. I would urge anyone who has been thinking about moving to get in touch and see if the Help to Buy route would work for them.”
