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.

Fantastic agents. Kept us informed at every stage during the purchase of a property and provided information and reassurance Zara 01/08/2025

I had no experience in buying a house the staff namely Amber helped me every step of the way. Always upbeat and happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Customer 2 01/08/2025

Karen Marijewko was amazing from start to finish, always at the end of the phone and kept me in the loop at every stage! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen and Richard Kendall to anyone! The only downside was as I don't live in Wakefield I went with a solicitor they recommended and I had to keep chasing them! I would recommend doing your research into the conveyancing! Richard 01/08/2025

Having had a disastrous experience elsewhere, we turned to Richard Kendall Wakefield for help in selling our property. Their whole team were nothing but professional excellence from beginning to end with our property being processed from market to completion in a little less than 6 months. Special thanks to Cathrine and Shireen for their care and attention to detail with excellent communication at every stage of the process. THANKYOU ALL Team Wakefield. John 01/08/2025

Don't look elsewhere for an agent to sell your property. A big thank you to Karen Marijewko for being very proactive and keeping us informed on the sale of our house. We were lucky enough to have a smooth sale, but nonetheless made even easier with Karen's knowledge and helpful advice. In Karen's absence when on holiday etc, the Kendall team were able to help us with any enquiries, a really good team spirit within the company. Additionally, we'd like to say thank you to Danny who valued our property, and Andy the photographer, both were amazing in getting our property listed. We would highly recommend Kendalls to anyone looking to sell their property. Sonya 01/08/2025

All I can say is thank goodness for Amanda at the Pontefract branch! That woman has the patience of a saint and works tirelessly Fantastic commentator, genuine empathy and has supported us every step of the way with our sale If only every service provider worked like this then life would be a lot easier! Thanks Amanda for all your hard work!! Claire 01/08/2025
