From Monday 9th August, Skipton Building Society will become the first major lender to enter the 95% LTV New Build market as the company announces its intent to support first time buyers. Skipton have taken the decision to extend this scheme beyond the Government’s Help to Buy programme.
Skipton also plan to utilise this scheme in an attempt to create a greener UK housing stock. They have pledged to play a more active role in encouraging sustainable living and believe it is important to make these properties more widely available to all borrowers demonstrated by this change.
