Your First Home, in Bicester
Are you exploring your first home options but finding it hard to save for a deposit? A new government scheme could help make that first step onto the property ladder more achievable.
The proposed Your First Home scheme is expected to help eligible first-time buyers in England purchase a new-build home with a deposit of just 2.5%, supported by a 20% government-backed equity loan, with a mortgage covering the remaining cost. Full details, including eligibility criteria and property price limits, are expected to be announced as part of the Autumn Budget on 28 October 2026.
At Graven Hill, your first home could offer more than just a place of your own. Our new homes come with integrated kitchen appliances, fitted flooring throughout, patio and turf included, alongside energy-efficient features designed for modern living. Plus, with an already-established community, there’s plenty to look forward to beyond moving day.
We’re following the announcement closely and will share more as soon as the details are confirmed. Register your details below to hear the latest on the scheme and what it could mean for buying your first home at Graven Hill.
