@my_moneycoach: He bought his first home for £390,000—but feels Help to Buy didn’t live up to its name. In this episode of My First Home, one homeowner shares why he felt let down by the former government scheme and what he would do differently. His advice to aspiring first-time buyers? If staying with your parents is an option, use that time to build your savings before buying. Did Help to Buy work for you—or would you have taken a different route? #firsthome #firsttimebuyer #money #renting #uknews
Isn’t on the help to buy scheme, but he knows it’s a scam….

Sold for 110k more than purchase price. Minus the Interest, he only made 30k profit Maximum

His scenario has nothing to do with the help to buy scheme, he clearly bought a property that was not eligible for the scheme.

it’s a scam because they don’t just want the amount they lend you back, it’s 20% of the property value at sale so they take a massive chunk of equity. you’re best off getting a loan to pay help to buy off and get rid entirely.

Don’t worry don’t buy to rent because the government will stop all you from increasing the property prices and stop people who need housing to live not making a profit

I avoid everything like this. Always dressed up as help but it gets you into more debt. Just buy cheaper if you want on the ladder.

Help to buy only applies if your house is under £250k or £450k in London.
£200k is a 1 bedroom flat.
Help to buy is going to end up being a huge waste of time & money for a lot of people as house prices continue to rise.

The crucial thing I did right was take the help to buy loan very seriously. Every time my mortgage got paid, I put more away to pay off the loan before interest started
