What are the costs of using the Help To Buy scheme

The Help to Buy loan is interest free for the first 5 years but you are required to pay a £1 monthly management fee by Direct Debit. After the end of the interest free period, and until you repay the loan in full, you will be required to pay:

  • The £1 monthly management fee
  • Monthly interest at the rate of 1.75% per year of the equity loan amount

The interest payable will rise each year. The increase will be based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 2%. The payments due on the Help to Buy Loan are in addition to the payments you are required to make to your mortgage lender.
