What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Andy Burnham unveiled the Your First Home scheme, which offers government-backed equity loans worth 20% of new-build properties in England. To qualify, households must earn less than £110,000 outside London or less than £140,000 in London. The scheme also provides an initial interest-free period and allows deposits as low as 2.5%. Further details, including salary caps, are due to be confirmed at the Budget.
