The document discusses the UK government's Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme, which provides a 20% equity loan to help first-time buyers purchase a new-build home priced up to £600,000. It notes that with the loan, buyers only need a 75% mortgage rather than a 95% one, resulting in lower monthly payments and potentially interest rates. However, it cautions that the 20% government loan must be paid back with interest after 5 years and recommends seeking independent mortgage advice.
