Help to Buy Mortgage equity/guarantee eligibility

Hi All
Quick question
I previously brought my first property with the first buy scheme, it has come to that time when we need to move on from our two bed to a bigger home. We have looked at another new build under a different builder, my question is could we use the new help to buy scheme for this move as scheme now supports home movers aswell as first time buyers, But as we have already had support from the government on a firstbuy scheme would we be eligible?
Thanks for you help

When you sell, the current equity loan and mortgage will be repaid.
You can use HTB - Equity Loan on a newbuild, or HTB - Mortgage Guarantee for a 95% mortgage, if you wish.
Use of FirstBuy/HomeBuy previously isn't a bar to using HTB now.I am a mortgage broker.
