Help to Buy Wales

Each year there is a limited amount of funding made available by the Welsh government to help you afford the home that’s right for you.

A Help to Buy Equity loan means you only need to put down a 5% deposit and take out a 75% mortgage. The relevant government will give you an equity loan for the remaining 20% of the property value, making your beautiful new home so much more affordable.

Please contact the sales negotiator for more information, but hurry as Help to Buy Wales funds are limited and your application needs to be accepted by September 2026.

First time buyers

Buying your first home can be as daunting as it is exciting. Throughout the process, your Edwards Homes sales negotiator will be on hand to help and guide you – providing information on Help to Buy schemes, suggesting a suitable solicitor or introducing you to a registered IFA.
Whatever you need to ensure the process is as stress-free as possible.

Mortgage and Legal

We can put you in touch with a registered Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) to find you the most cost effective and appropriate mortgage. You can use our Mortgage Calculator to help you.

We can suggest an appropriate and cost effective solicitor for you that specialises in legal conveyancing.

How long?

If your home is already built, it will be ready as soon as the mortgage and legal side has been completed. We would hope to complete this in a 4 to 6 week timescale. If your home is under construction, this will obviously take longer and will depend on the build stage upon reservation.

NHBC Warranty

Edwards Homes is a registered NHBC builder. This means that we build your home to the standards set out by National House Builders Council (NHBC) Your home will be checked during construction at key stages, giving you peace of mind and a 10 year NHBC warranty should there be any problems after completion.

Stamp Duty / Land Transaction Tax

UK Stamp Duty Land Tax (replaced in 2008 as Land Transaction Tax in Wales) is payable on all property purchases over a certain purchase price, and the charge applies to all purchases of houses, flats and other land and buildings.


UK (except Wales) Stamp Duty:

  • Up to £250,000 – Zero
  • The next £675,000 (the portion from £250,001 to £925,000) – 5 per cent
  • The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5 million) – 10 per cent
  • The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5 million) – 12 per cent

 

Welsh Land Transaction Tax has a threshold of £225,000 and a calculator is available to discover how much you’ll pay.

Completion Day

Your sales negotiator will be on hand to inform you when the completion payment has been made by your solicitor. You will then be given the keys during an official handover with your negotiator, who will explain how things work and anything else you may need to know.
