Get expert help and advice

Buying a new home can feel overwhelming, so it’s important to seek expert advice. While Homes England is your Help to Buy: Equity Loan provider, we do not offer financial or legal advice or builder mediation services. But we can point you in the right direction. There are organisations who provide free and impartial advice on:

Finance matters

MoneyHelper is an independent organisation set up by the government. It has a range of free and unbiased tools and advice for first time buyers, including how much you can afford to borrow, taking out a mortgage, and a money timeline.

Buying a leasehold property

The Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE) is funded by government to provide free advice on the law affecting residential leasehold property.
