IMS Independent Mortgage Solutions is the only mortgage broker in Bicester and one of three in Oxfordshire to be appointed. The firm had to go through an application and approval process in order to join the panel.

Commenting Michelle Niziol, Director, IMS Independent Mortgage Solutions says: “It is great to be appointed to the Help to Buy panel of recommended independent financial advisers for the South of England. To be the only broker in Bicester and one of three in Oxfordshire is fantastic. We look forward to assisting more people using the Help to Buy scheme to gain mortgage finance and buy a home.”

Help to Buy is a government backed scheme that helps people get on or move up the housing ladder. The Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme is available to both first time buyers and those that have bought a property before. If you are looking to buy a new build home and have a 5% deposit you'll be able to access the scheme. You will need to be able to take out a mortgage for 75% of the value of the property and the remaining 20% will be funded by the government.
