A 5% deposit will get you home sooner

Head Start makes it easier and quicker for you to buy your own home.

Take a short cut to your first home

If you need some help getting a deposit together, Head Start could be just what you're looking for. It's an affordable scheme that allows first-time buyers and key workers in Scotland and Wales to get a place of their own with a deposit as low as 5%.

Put simply, we could give you a 10 year loan for 15% of the value of the home you'd like to buy. So you could take out an 80% mortgage, with a 5% deposit, and be in your own place before you know it.

Your home is still 100% yours, and you'll just pay us back 15% of what your house is worth after 10 years, or when you sell it, whichever happens first.

Head Start could make all the difference

It's easy to see how Head Start could help you. Just put in the amount you're thinking of spending and our deposit calculator will do the rest.
