Help to buy

I have a couple of questions, which I hope you could help with please.
So I read the scheme closes in March 23, is this the deadline for when you must have completed by? I will be in a position come September to get my own mortgage arrangements put together, with sufficient deposit etc but I assume this will be too short a deadline in order for a potential new build to be built etc?
Furthermore, how does the loan repayments work? I've tried to find a calculator to try and find out what my monthly payments are likely to be but I cant find one.
Thanks.

You need to have reserved by the end of October and exchanged by the end of March.
