Coming soon: a government scheme giving first-time buyers in England a helping hand to buy a new-build home
Dreaming of a new-build home, but losing sleep over saving for a deposit? You're not alone. That's why the Government's new Your First Home scheme, first announced on 26 September 2026, is already creating a buzz among first-time buyers in England.
While full details are expected at the Autumn Budget on 28th October, the scheme will help more people take that all-important first step onto the property ladder with just 2.5% deposit, in return for a 20% government-backed equity loan to buy a new-build home. You’ll get a mortgage for the rest.
Register below and we’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more about this exciting new scheme for first-time buyers, as details could change before it’s officially launched. In the meantime, why not start exploring new Bellway homes near you? It doesn’t hurt to look.
Based on the initial announcement, here’s what we know about Your First Home scheme so far:
Put simply, buyers would contribute a 2.5% deposit, the Government would provide a 20% equity loan, and a participating lender would provide a mortgage for the remaining 77.5%.
For example, on a £300,000 new-build home, that could mean:
