Help to Buy's history
The 'Help to Buy' scheme isn't new; it's a government initiative that has evolved over the years to assist first-time buyers. Previous versions included equity loans and mortgage guarantees. This new 'Your first home' programme is the latest iteration, focusing on new-build properties and specific eligibility criteria to continue supporting homeownership.
