Spouse Visa and Help to Buy scheme

Hi everyone,

Currently I am on spouse visa. Myself and my husband got a mortgage. Now we are purchasing a property using Help To Buy scheme. As my visa says “no recourse to public funds”, who knows if I am allow to use Help to Buy please?


Thanks!!!

Does this scheme involve using public funds? Is it a means tested benefit?

I really don’t know, that’s why I am struggling.. because we just found a property that we like using help to buy and then again I realised about this..

Most help to buy are privately run schemes between the builder and the buyer,who owns the property,is it a new build?

Hi, its a new built property and its a private development by Crayfern houses according to the sale assistant that I was talking to earlier.

Public funds usually are means tested benefits such as income support or housing & council tax benefit . For folks on low incomes or small savings.

Then there will be no public funds involved in the purchase. Enjoy the new home
