Younger first time buyers afford new homes in Dunstable

Thanks to Bloor’s commitment to offering incentives like the FirstBuy initiative, First Time Buyers have more ways of being helped onto the property ladder. This government-backed scheme is making it so much easier for first time buyers to move onto the property ladder. An equity loan of up to 20% of the property price will be provided meaning purchasers only need to arrange finance for the remaining 80%, which can be done by arranging a market rate mortgage in addition to the 5% deposit. To qualify purchasers need to have a joint household earning of less than £60,000.
