Help to buy question

Options
Guys,
When you do the help to buy does the lender of the 75% do the earnings multiple based on that or the whole of the house? I'm not sure if I am being thick here but presume its somewhere in the middle?

    I would like to know this as well. I would guess it takes into account the mortgage for 75% and the loan of 20%.

    Presumably this is for HTB - Equity Loan on a newbuild?

    These days there is no earnings multiple. Lenders have online calculators into which you enter your income and outgoings, one of which is usually 3% of the equity loan.

    The resulting figure is the amount you can borrow, your maximum mortgage amount from that particular lender.

    To that, you add the equity loan and the deposit and you then have your maximum property purchase price.
