Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he plans to take steps to extend the deadline to submit new applications for the Help to Buy Scheme.

Help to buy has helped over 361,000 households to own their own home and will continue to help thousands of people until March 2023. The deadline for applications for the Help to Buy scheme is Monday 31 October 2022, ahead of the final legal completion deadline of 31 March 2023. No extensions to these dates are planned.

The scheme is just one of the ways the Government has made homeownership more achievable and affordable. Shared Ownership, First Homes and the Mortgage Guarantee Scheme continue to support many more people into homes of their own.
