Since the launch in 2013, the government led Help to Buy initiative has helped 350,000 people across the UK get closer to acquiring their dream property.
The scheme offers loans to first-time buyers to help them put down a deposit for a home up to 600,00. According to a recent survey, the scheme has already helped more than 300,000 first time buyers. Launched in 2013 and with plans for an extension until 2021, Help to Buy is a wider plan to tackle the housing challenge and ensure the next generation can get on and climb up the housing ladder.
