Help To Buy Mortgages

The government Help to Buy scheme: Equity Loan (HTB) and the London Help to Buy are equity loan schemes where the government lends you up to 20% or 40% of the value of a new build property depending on the location.

The scheme has allowed many people get onto the property ladder and those wanting to move into a new property to get moving!

We have helped many clients through the process which shares the complications of a new build purchase with the added layer of dealing with a government agency who administer the scheme!

You can call us on 01483 266666 for more information.

Fortunately, we are experts in these matters and can guide you through the process by finding you the right mortgage and dealing with the additional paperwork for the Help to Buy element saving you time, money and a whole heap of stress.

Please see our client testimonials.

Equity loans are available to first time buyers and homeowners looking to move. The home you want to buy must be newly built with a price of up to £600,000. You won’t be able to sublet this home or enter a part exchange deal on your old home. You must not own any other property at the time you buy your new home.

We understand that the process of dealing with agents, builders, solicitors, lenders, valuers, HTB agencies and with insurance matters can be like multiple spinning plates especially when you have your “normal” life still going on. You have busy jobs, children to look after and 100’s of other things that take your time and energy.

Relax and let us handle the financial side and we will smooth the process out for you and keep you informed with advice you can trust, regular, jargon free updates and a dedicated and knowledgeable contact.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.

We were recommended Oakwood by a friend and couldn't be happier we took their recommendation. Stuart Jacob, Emma Claydon and Mike Black in particular were a pleasure to deal with, and they always went the extra mile to help and advise when circumstances changed or we weren't sure what next steps were - which as first time buyers was invaluable. Would give them 6 stars if I could!

David was amazing at helping and explaining to me the whole process of getting my first mortgage. He was also incredibly efficient at returning email and getting everything I needed to make the process of purchasing a little less stressful! Would highly recommend

Stuart and Emma at Oakwood were amazing throughout the whole house buying process. They were non judgemental and supportive at every stage. As first time buyers the process seemed overwhelming at times and with out their support and guidance we wouldn't have made it through to collecting the keys. Thanks again guys.

I can't recommend Oakwood enough for their professional and friendly service. As first time buyers we nervous and un-educated in all matters regarding buying a house! Our advisor David helped us with all aspects, he was extremely patience and made what is a difficult process as simple as possible. It has been our dream to own a home for many many years and Oakwood Mortgage Services helped make this dream come true. Thank you.

I contacted Oakwood for advice on a mortgage, they were professional and quick to respond but most importantly treat you like part of the family and not a client. Super friendly to deal with.I absolutely would recommend them and would not hesitate to contact them again on other matters.

Richard at Oakwood has been helping us with our various mortgages (our home and buy-to-lets) for years now and we couldn't be more happy with the service. He is quick and very patient with us. He always takes time to look into our options so we feel confident about making informed decisions. One of the best things for us is that Richard gets in touch months before a mortgage is due for review and quickly and painlessly gets things sorted. I highly recommend Richard and Oakwood.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Oakwood Mortgage Services and in particular to Richard Burley who seems capable of working miracles, particularly when dealing with the complicated applications of a sportsman. Richard’s calm manner and problem solving have been brilliant over the years and allowed both Katie and I to stay relaxed and in control during stressful house buying moments, as well as helping us to navigate the the complex buy-to-let market! We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Richard and Oakwood mortgage services ahead of moving house next week, and I would highly recommend their services. In particular I would recommend them to other sports people who have previously struggled with mortgage companies based on our short contracts and the potentially volatile nature of our work. Thanks again Richard. Ben and Katie

I gave Stuart at Oakwood Mortgage services a challenge of finding me an impossible mortgage. I knew I wouldn't get exactly what I wanted, but he came up with some nice surprises. He explained everything, not pushy at all, a friendly and professional approach. Thank you

We were first time buyers and dealt with Richard around the mortgage application. He helped us understand each process, explaining everything thoroughly and came to meet us twice where he was very personal and efficient. Dave took us through the building and contents and life insurance process, again coming to meet us in person and took us through the options, step by step. Dave was very communicative and answered any questions we had.Emma was there throughout this process and on hand with any urgent queries we had and was a delight to deal with.They managed to make it all happen, even during lockdown!Highly recommend Richard, Dave, Emma and Oakwood. We are very happy in our new home!

I have worked with a number of the Oakwood team over many years and they are all excellent and totally professional at what they do. Dave came to our family home a few years ago to discuss and advise us in terms of financial insurance. He was very knowledgeable, really easy to talk to. Sometimes discussing financial things can be quite tricky to understand, but I felt at complete ease with Dave. I would highly recommend speaking to him if you need insurance or even need a mortgage as he covers both areas. Thanks for all your support Dave. It's always good to have someone who has your back!

When we started looking for a house, we contacted Stuart based on a work colleague's recommendation. Having not bought a house in the UK before, we had a lot of questions.Stuart guided us through the process and was always available to answers questions and provide advice that was easy to understand.We had a protracted period between initial contact and purchase, in this time Stuart was patient, professional and provided us with a high level of confidence that we were in capable hands.A huge thank you to Stuart and the staff at Oakwood, we would not hesitate to recommend them.Ian and Yoosun

Great service. Paul talked us through everything really clearly and made the whole process very smooth and straightforward. We have recommended Oakwood to friends as a result.

The team is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable on their given subject. My situation was rather unusual and my options were very limited, if i had tried on my own i wouldn't have found the best deal for me. The information provided to me was well presented and insightful, if anything was unclear they made sure that i understood things fully. In the end they found the best deal out there that ticked all the boxes i needed and went above and beyond. To make sure i wasn't put into a position i couldn't afford to be in Stuart would go to an agent and tell them when things weren't possible, even when they were insistent on getting a deal, Stuart had my back in it!I can't recommend them enough, and will be returning to them down the line myself!

Top notch service. Friendly, prompt and accessible no matter where you are based (I'm in the Highlands). Much better service than that experienced by local face-to-face advisers with a large portfolio of companies that ensure you can get the mortgage to suit your needs. Have happily referred to others in less than usual circumstances, all of whom have come away delighted

Highly recommend. We were first time buyers and Stuart made the process simple and efficient. We found our property and made an offer on the spot, but the agents needed to speak to Stuart before stopping further viewings, so he dropped everything whilst at a conference and the rest is history. Buying a house is an emotional time, so having the mortgage element handled by a professional, yet down to earth person like Stuart was invaluable to us. Thanks Stuart.
