What you'd hand back on the equity loan

This is a guide, not financial advice. We don't recommend mortgages or lenders — enter the rates you've been quoted. The mortgage figures assume a repayment mortgage at a constant rate for the whole term; your rate changes when each deal ends. The equity-loan figures follow the published scheme rules as at 29 October 2026, which may change before applications open. Stamp duty and fees are not included — check them with our stamp duty calculator. Read the full Your First Home guide.
