What are the benefits?
Help to Buy is made up of two schemes – an ‘equity loan’ where the Government will loan you up to 20% of the value of your new build home and a ‘mortgage guarantee’ where lenders will be incentivised to make more mortgages available for people with small deposits. The Government wants to help more people across the country make the aspiration of home ownership a reality. Help to Buy is aimed at increasing
the supply of low-deposit mortgages as well as new housing and will run for 3 years. If you have a 5% deposit and want to buy a new build home, you’ll be able to access the Help to Buy scheme. If you want to buy a property which is either new build or an existing property,

Our part exchange scheme is highly popular and has taken the stress out of the home buying process for many of our customers over the years. Available on selected developments and on particular plots, the sales advisor based on each development will be able to highlight which plots qualify for the scheme.
For part exchange consideration, your current home must meet the following criteria:
All necessary planning and building consents for alterations or extensions must be available for inspection, including any required for the installation of replacement windows, even if the work was carried out by a previous owner.
If you reserve a plot that has a part exchange option and you decide to take advantage of part exchange, your sales advisor will ask you for information on your present home. This information will be passed to the Part Exchange Coordinator who will instruct independent valuations. These valuations are based on achieving a sale within 90 days. Our Part Exchange Coordinator will also contact you to introduce themselves and to advise you on the next steps of the process. Once the valuation reports are received from the estate agents we will look to make you an offer to purchase your home. Typically our offer is based on an average valuation price.
The offer will be be subject to the Coordinator visiting your property. We do reserve the right not to make an offer for any property put forward under the Part Exchange scheme.
Once an offer is accepted we will place your property on the market immediately. You will need to instruct your solicitor to deal with the legal documentation regarding your sale and purchase. At this point our Part Exchange Coordinator will arrange for a full mortgage survey to be undertaken against your existing home. In addition you will also need to arrange for the necessary finance, such as a mortgage, for the purchase of your new home. During the marketing of your existing property our appointed selling agent will contact our Part Exchange Coordinator to arrange viewing times for prospective buyers to view your home. We will endeavour to make these viewings as convenient to you as possible.
Once your finance is in place and contracts/missives exchanged you are simply waiting for your new home to be handed over to you. Once ready, we will then hand over the keys to your new home and you hand over the keys to your old home to us! It’s that simple.
Our part exchange offer is available against selected plots on selected developments. To find out more details how part exchange could work for you, please contact the sales advisor at any of our developments.

Home Reach is a new build ownership solution brought to you by Heylo Housing Group. The Home Reach shared ownership scheme cannot be used in conjunction with any other Avant Homes purchase scheme, offer or promotion. Subject to affordability criteria as prescribed by the Homes and Communities Agency. Subject to individual mortgage lender qualification and affordability criteria.
The Shared Equity Plots are sold with the assistance of Saffron Housing Trust as follows:
1. Potential Buyers must be eligible and approved by the Local Authority before they can reserve the plot, in accordance with the conditions of the Section 106 Agreement.
2. Buyers will initially purchase 75% of the equity in the property and Saffron Housing Trust will retain the remaining 25% of the equity. For example, if the full purchase price is £100,000 the buyers will pay £75,000 on completion.
3. On completion the buyers will be granted a Shared Ownership Lease, where Saffron Housing Trust are the Landlord (owners of the freehold).
4. The Shared Ownership Lease secures the 75% equity acquired by the buyers, and is for a term of 99 years from the date of the Lease and with a fixed rent of £1 per annum throughout the term.
5. The buyers will be responsible to pay to the Landlord throughout the term of the Lease (a) a contribution towards insurance of the property and (b) any outgoings for the property e.g. bills, taxes, rates, service charge (if applicable) etc.
6. Five years from the date of the Lease the buyers can choose to staircase by acquiring further equity in the property. Buyers can acquire a minimum of 10% and a maximum of the remaining 25% equity. The value of the equity is based on the market value of the property at the time of staircasing. For example, if the buyers wanted to acquire a further 10% equity (making an 85% equity share overall) and the market value of the property at that time has increased to £110,000 then they would need to pay £11,000 to Saffron Housing Trust for that further 10% equity.
7. If and when the buyers acquire the full 100% equity in the property, Saffron Housing Trust will transfer the freehold of the property to the buyers and the Shared Ownership Lease falls away.
8. There is no obligation on the buyers to increase their share – they can remain with a 75% equity share throughout the 99 year term of the Lease if they want to.
9. If the buyers decided to sell the property at any point in the future, they would need to contact Saffron Housing Trust to ensure that any future buyers fulfil their criteria and the buyers would only ever be able to sell the percentage equity in the property that they have acquired to that point. For example, if the buyers own 75% equity they can only sell their 75% equity share based on the market value at that time.
10. If the property value increases or decreases over time, so does the value of the equity share.
