When you put down as little as a 5% deposit on a newly built home, you can get a Government equity loan \u2013 for up to 40% of the purchase price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">If the home in the example left sold for \u00a3420,000, you would get \u00a3252,000 (60%, from your mortgage and the cash deposit) and you would pay back \u00a3168,000 on the loan (40%). You would need to pay off your mortgage with your share of the money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">You won\u2019t be charged loan fees on the 40% loan for the first five years of owning your home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Aldermore, Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Halifax, Leeds, Lloyds, Nationwide, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander, Teachers and TSB offer London Help to Buy.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #089997;\"><b>Who is eligible?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span>London Help to Buy equity loans are available to first time buyers as well as homeowners looking to move.
