What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The government announced the 'Your First Home' initiative aimed at helping first-time buyers purchase new-build properties in England. The scheme allows buyers to use only a 2.5% deposit, with the government providing an additional 20% towards the cost. Future details, including household income and local property price caps, will be outlined in next month’s Budget, led by Chancellor John Healey. Developers will also be required to make contributions when joining the scheme.
