How does Help to Buy - Wales  work?

Get on or up the property ladder with Help to Buy - Wales. The scheme is currently available across Wales to first time buyers and existing homeowners.

What is Help to Buy - Wales?

The Help to Buy - Wales scheme means first time buyers and existing homeowners in Wales can buy a new home with just 5% deposit and a shared equity loan of up to 20% of the cost of a new build home. Help to Buy - Wales is currently available on all Taylor Wimpey developments in Wales up to the value of £250,000.

Step 1. You save up to 5% deposit

You'll need a 5% deposit to buy a home with Help to Buy. This is less than you'd typically need to get a mortgage without Help to Buy so you might be able to buy sooner than you thought. Our Help to Buy calculator will help you find out how much you'll need.
