What is the Help to Buy Scheme?
The scheme works by a mortgage guarantee scheme or equity loan. The mortgage guarantee scheme works by offering lenders the option to purchase a guarantee on mortgages where a borrower has a deposit of between 5 and 20 percent. Equity loans are open to both first-time buyers and home movers on new build homes worth up to £600,000. The Government loans up to 20 percent of the cost of a new build home, so you only need a 5 percent deposit and a 75 percent mortgage.

What is the Right to Buy Scheme?
The Right to Buy Scheme allows most Council tenants to buy their Council house at a discounted rate if it is their only or main home which has been rented from a Council, Housing Association or NHS Trust for 5 years. This doesn’t have to be 5 years in a row.
