The government has no plans to consult on new fiscal incentives to support younger people into home ownership.

The affordability challenges facing prospective first-time buyers mean that too many people are now locked out of home ownership.

In addition to increasing the supply of homes of all tenures, the government will be launching a new mortgage guarantee scheme in July 2025. Further details can be found in the Written Ministerial Statement of 11 June (HCWS694).
