Re: Coaliton's NewBuy housing scheme is a 95 per cent failure, official figures revea

I am sure those five and a half thousand* people/families who benefited from it don't think it is a failure.....

I see the Indy didn't mention the Help to Buy scheme, which has helped nearly 36,000 people/families buy a house, 83% of which were first-time buyers.

Quote:
The main points are:
  • in the first 19 months (to 31 October 2014), 35,962 properties were bought (legal completions) with the support of the Help to Buy: equity loan scheme
  • the majority of sales were to first-time buyers, representing 83% of total sales
  • the average (mean) purchase price was £211,217

*got to love the Indy's rounding down.....
