🏡 More support for first-time buyers?
The Government has announced a number of proposed measures aimed at helping more people get onto the property ladder in 2026.
🔑 Your First Home – a proposed new scheme could allow eligible buyers to purchase with a 2.5% deposit, alongside a government-backed equity loan.
📈 95% mortgages are already available through the permanent Mortgage Guarantee Scheme for eligible borrowers.
🏠 Proposed changes could also make the home-buying process simpler and more accessible for some buyers.
📅 Important: Some of the details are still subject to confirmation, with further information expected in the October 2026 Budget.
