@maseonomic_: Help to Buy is coming back but could it actually make houses more expensive? Andy Burnham’s new Your First Home scheme could make it much easier for first-time buyers to get a deposit together. The last Help to Buy scheme did appear to increase supply too, with the government’s latest review estimating around 15% of new builds in England during the scheme were attributable to it. But that same review also found evidence it pushed house prices higher in some areas. So the real question is whether we actually build enough extra homes alongside it. For education only. Not financial advice.
