Trisha looks at the costs of the Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme in England to help you work out if you can afford to buy a home with the scheme.

With this scheme the Government lends you up to 20% of the cost of your newbuild home, so you’ll only need a 5% cash deposit and a 75% mortgage to make up the rest. #OwnYourHome
