Help to buy

South West celebrate first Help to Buy residents

Ben and Kirby Dawkins are settling into their new home – as the first people in the south west of England to benefit from the recently launched Help to Buy scheme with David Wilson Homes.

“Our biggest stumbling block in trying to buy a house was finding enough of a deposit,” said Ben. “With Help to Buy we were able to use the savings we already had. It was great news for us as it meant we could get better mortgage interest rate and have lower payments without having to save for another year.”
