Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The government introduced the Your First Home scheme across England, which supports first-time buyers with a Government equity loan worth 20 per cent of the purchase price and allows deposits as low as 2.5 per cent. Localized price caps were set for the scheme, with the maximum price for eligible homes in Somerset set at £315,000. In parts of central London, including the City of London, the highest caps are set at £650,000.
