4 of a kind: Three-beds perfect for first time buyers
Each of these properties qualifies for the government’s Help To Buy scheme.
GETTING ON THE property ladder can be difficult, but new developments are opening up to first time buyers everyday – and many of them are eligible for the government’s Help To Buy scheme.
The Help To Buy scheme provides for a refund of income tax and DIRT (Deposit Interest Retention Tax) paid over the previous four years to first time buyers purchasing a new, qualifying home.
Like the sound of that incentive? Here’s what’s on the market now…
