Hello All, This is just a friendly reminder to read the Forum Charter where you wish to post before posting in it. :)

Hi all, The AutoSave Draft feature is now disabled across the site. The decision to disable the feature was made via a poll last year. The delay in putting it in place was due to a bug/update issue. This should serve as a reminder to manually save your drafts if you wish to keep them. Thanks, The Boards Team.

Help To Buy Scheme

deiseman17 · 2022-03-30 18:40:59

Could anyone shed some light on the help to buy scheme and what the criteria is for it? I have been approved and got x amount for it. Can this be used as a deposit as I've tried ringing revenue but to no avail

Yes, you can use it as deposit.
This needs to be agreed with the builder and is applicable only for new builds.
You can use entire X amount as deposit provided, X is less than or equal to 10% of the house.

Hi all. Bringing this back from the dead.
Are you able to get the full 30k on new self builds, or only on new development built by an approved property developer?
Thanks!

The amount you can claim is detailed on the Revenue website.
