Natwest Help to Buy

Hi,

Has anyone tried applying for the 95% Help to Buy Scheme Government Guarantee (existing homes) via Natwest.

It's 4.99% for 2 years fixed with no fee....

Is the application process long winded?

Looking 125k house and 118k MTG

Thanks

    No different to a standard mortgage application.
  • Is there anything to watch out in terms of catches/conditions that are unusual or you wouldn't expect from any other mortgage?

    There's no difference from a borrowers perspective. The scheme itself relates to matters between Lenders and the Treasury.
