Help for First Time Buyers by Valerie Breese
A
n ambitious new strategy to tackle the housing shortage, boost the economy, create jobs
and give people the opportunity to get on the housing ladder was announced at the end of 2011 by the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister. The Strategy will break the current
cycle in which lenders won’t lend, builders can’t build and buyers can’t buy. Making it easier for people to secure mortgages on new homes, help people get on the property ladder, address unfairness in social housing and ensure homes that have been left empty for years are lived in once again. At the heart of the strategy is a new
build indemnity scheme that will give a helping hand for up to 100,000 prospective buyers who are currently frozen out of the housing market because of the need for large deposits. Under the proposals, homebuyers will
be able to secure loans on newly built homes - the bedrock of the first time buyer market - with only a five per cent deposit. The Government and house builders will help provide security for the loan, so if the house is then sold for less than the outstanding mortgage total the lender will be able to recover its loss.
Assistance for people buying homes will be matched by support for the people who build them, from the largest house builder to people who want to build their own homes.
Affordable housing providers are in line to share almost £1.8bn cash to develop new affordable homes. The first £1bn worth of contracts under the Affordable Homes Programme have just been confirmed, putting the Government

on track to deliver up to 170,000 new affordable homes across the country over the next four years.
All these measures will be supported through the New Homes Bonus, which will ensure that those areas, which are growing have the resources to meet the needs of their new residents and existing communities.
First time buyers looking to get a foot on to the property ladder can take advantage of the Government-backed scheme FirstBuy at two of Berkeley’s premier developments - City Point, Kidbrooke Village, and The Warehouse No1 Street, Royal Arsenal Riverside.
