Hello Everyone,

At the moment i am on Tier 1 which has been extended on 30th April 2013 until 2016. ILR due in april 2016.

I would like to buy a house and want to use the first time buyer scheme with 5% deposit and govt will provide 20% share on it as a loan which is tax free for 5 years and if it has not been paid in 5 year than interest will be charged.

Please see the below and share your views:

No as only Housing provided by housing associations and Homeless Assistance is classed as public funds for the purpose of the UKBA. However, will you be eligible even though you're not a permanent resident? I don't know the rules but usually mortgage providers require ILR, although, some don't.

They didnt ask ILR from me. I was on 2 years spouse visa when I got my mortgage.

Yes, some providers do and some don't. Technically for some credit you have to be resident in the UK for 3+ years but I don't think that creditors check this too strictly.
