UK: The Government has announced plans for a new “Your First Home” scheme aimed at helping first-time buyers in England onto the property ladder. Under the plans, buyers could purchase a new-build home with a deposit of just 2.5%, backed by a 20% government equity loan. The equity loan will initially be interest-free, with household income limits and local property price caps also applying. Full details of the scheme are expected to be confirmed in the Budget on 28 October. Join EJN:
