Mortgage Guarantee scheme

The mortgage guarantee scheme allows first-time buyers to buy a home with as little as a 5% deposit, with them borrowing the remaining 95% of the mortgage. There is a government guarantee on the scheme, meaning the government will reimburse the mortgage lender if the buyer defaults on payments.

Shared Ownership scheme

Shared Ownership allows low-income individuals to own a home by allowing them to buy a portion of the property and rent the remaining percentage. The minimum starting stake is 10%, and you can increase this amount whenever you feel ready. An additional bonus is the fact that you only have to pay the deposit required for the portion you buy.

The Lifetime ISA

A Lifetime ISA helps first-time buyers save up for a deposit by giving topping up their savings account annually. You can save up to £4,000 per annum, and the government adds an additional 25% on top of the amount you save, reducing the amount of time it takes to save up for your first home.

Help to Build Equity Loan scheme

The Help to Build Equity Loan scheme is useful for first-time buyers who are looking to build their own home. This scheme offers a five-year, interest-free loan to supplement a buyer's 5% deposit. The equity loan amount ranges from 5% to 20% of the total estimated cost.

I had a fantastic experience with Richard Kendall Estate Agent. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. They made everything clear and straightforward, which really helped reduce any stress. Communication was excellent from start to finish always prompt, friendly, and transparent. They kept me updated every step of the way and were always happy to answer any questions. Abujor 10/04/2026

We used Richard Kendall to find and purchase our first property. The company, including our assigned estate agent Karen Marijewko, have been fantastic and provided service well beyond what we expected. Karen took excellent care of us, kept us updated at every stage, and pushed the sale forward, making the whole process less stressful and much more efficient for us as first-time buyers. Karen scheduled weekly updates with us and always kept to them, ensuring that information was followed up even when solicitors did not. She truly went above and beyond, and many of our family members commented that their estate agents did not come close to the level of service we received. We were extremely happy with the support provided and would be more than happy to use their services again in the future. Jakub 10/04/2026
