Be wary of fraud

Identity fraud is on the increase and can seriously damage your credit score. This is another reason to check your credit file regularly: in the searches section particularly, you should examine it to see if there's any which you don't recognise (double-check with the named lender).

If you think you've become a victim of identity fraud, you should report this to Action Fraud.

Help to Buy Mortgage

If you take up the Government's Help to Buy Scheme to buy a New Build home, the Government provides up to 20% of the purchase price in the form of a repayable equity loan (up to 40% within the Greater London area) to add to your 5% deposit then you pay for the rest of the asking price via a Help to Buy Mortgage.

This mortgage will therefore be for a maximum of 75% of the purchase price (55% in Greater London) and the maximum purchase price is £600,000. Want to find out more? Click on Help to Buy Mortgages
