Help To Buy

Hi Folks,

First time buy here in Scotland.

When the second phase of the help to buy scheme was announced last month I was very excited until I noticed that the Mortgage Guarantee part was only available in England and Wales.

However on looking into it again today I see no reference to this so am getting very confused.

My yes or bo question:

Can someone tell me if I would be able to purchase a house on the open market through the Help to Buy Mortage Guarantee scheme in Scotland?

Cheers

    Yes. HTB - Mortgage Guarantee also applies in Scotland.

    There are currently only two lenders RBS/NatWest and Halifax.
