HomeBuy Direct is an equity loan product designed to help First Time Buyers and other eligible groups into affordable home ownership by purchasing a brand new property from a builder/developer.
An equity loan of between 15% and 30% of the home's market value will be offered to eligible applicants and is co-funded by the Government and the developer.
The remaining 70% to 85% in the home will need to be funded by a mortgage and deposit. A minimum deposit of 5% is required to purchase through HomeBuy Direct
The equity loan is interest free for the first five years, from the fifth anniversary an interest charge of 1.75% is payable on the equity loan.
