Thanks all, just took a look one he governments website. Looks like it would be an option!
If we like the house we are viewing and want to buy it, is help to buy something to get through a broker or do we need to go through government channels directly?
Builder needs to be an approved builder...............and I'd MUCH rather buy a new build with a 10% deposit and own the property in full rather than being lumbered with a 20% equity loan.......
