The Chancellor’s announcement of a new government guarantee scheme for 95% LTV mortgages was welcome news for prospective homebuyers with a 5% deposit, who have effectively been blocked from the property market during the pandemic. 

 

Launched in April 2021, the scheme offers a government ‘guarantee’ on 95% LTV mortgages to encourage cautious lenders to bring back these deals. The guarantee applies to the portion of the loan over 80%, with the government  partially reimbursing the lender in the event of repossession.

 

The scheme is due to end on 31 December 2022, subject to review. First-time buyers and home movers can apply, eligibility criteria apply. Get in touch for further information on the scheme.
