Myself and my partner are HTB approved for just shy of 23k as a joint application. I can avail of 10k and herself 12-13k. We have each went back and calculated taxes paid in the last 4 years through our SOL on revenue website and both add up to approx 50k in taxes together over the last 4 years. Yet, we are still only approved for 23k of a max 30k. Has anyone else experiences similar? We have an enquiry in with Revenue but god knows how long that will take. Appreciate any info.

So, lets say you create HTB application in 2021 then you will be able to claim taxes for 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017. If total taxes you paid is 50k for these past 4 years then you will only be able to claim max 30k to pay towards the deposit for the property price. And if total taxes you paid is 20k for these past 4 years then you will only be able to claim max 20k to pay towards the deposit for the property price.

I’m a single buyer with good savings but in order to get up to the purchase price of a new build in my area (circa 350k) I’ll be getting a gift from my parents bringing my loan to value ratio to around 60%.

Uploaded final contracts and a copy of loan agreement for mortgage. Get to last step and it gives me error once I press submit saying come back later. This happened to anyone else?

Is there any way to get revenue to expedite the approval? Reading through the post it seems contacting through MyEnquiriies is the only way as they can't be reached by phone. Has anyone been able to do anything over the phone to expedite this?

I rang revenue and basically was told the Help to buy crew don't take any calls, sounds like the person I was taking to was having a go slow day. This is going on nearly 3 weeks now. Today my enquiry is showing as "in progress" so hopefully It will get sorted out this week. Luckily the contractor hasn't put me under any pressure, yet at least!

Tried calling two days later but was told that they couldn't help, only the HTB department could help and they'd get back to me withink 2 days, but now that's over a week and a half ago. It doesn't even give a reference number now. It says it's awaiting partnership confirmation and has this message: The whole thing is very frustrating. We've paid off all of our previously undercharged taxes and we're still seeing this. I don't understand how this whole thing isn't just automated to give quick approval, or to quickly say any outstanding issues so they can be solved instead of cancelling without explanation after weeks of waiting and sending you back to square one.
