Welcome

Our Help to Buy Mortgages calculator will help to give you an indication of how much we could lend your customer(s). Simply tell us their basic information to get a maximum loan amount or if you know their commitments and expenditure include that to get a more comprehensive result. Either way it's quick and simple to use.

For every calculation we’ll show you the maximum amount your customer(s) could borrow on both a 2 and 5 year product. Simply select the tier they fit - for more information about our tiers please view our Help to Buy Product page.

Please note the "Help to Buy: Equity Loan" scheme (England) has now closed. You can continue to purchase a property in Wales through the Help to Buy Wales scheme.

If you have any questions, pick up the phone and give our sales team a call on 03333 701 101, Option 4, Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

We'll use the details you enter on this screen to automatically calculate the loan size required, but please bear in mind this does not take into account any fees. If your customer(s) are looking to raise capital or consolidate debts please increase the purchase price for purchases or the loan required value for a remortgage to reflect this. If they don't currently have a mortgage but already own the property and are looking to refinance, please select Remortgage.

We have a maximum loan size of £600,000 and a maximum LTV of 75%.

Select the tier your client(s) falls under. Our tiers are named after how long since their last CCJ or Default was registered. For example, if the last CCJ or Default was registered over 6 months ago but less than 12 months ago, they'd be suitable for our Pepper 6 tier.

You'll also need to consider mortgage, secured and unsecured arrears when selecting a product tier. So, if you're unsure which product to select, visit our Help to Buy Products page to find out more.

We'll use the rest of the information to pick the appropriate product details for the calculation.
