As first-time buyers tend to buy smaller (and therefore cheaper) first properties, the scheme’s property price cap of £250,000 for properties outside London (£450,000 within London) allows the Government to target support more precisely at the people the scheme is intended to help. Since its launch in 2015, the scheme has supported 497,940 property completions across the UK, with a mean property value of £176,125 compared with an average first-time buyer house price of £231,704.</p><p> </p><p>While the Government keeps all aspects of savings policy under review, Help to Buy: ISA account holders can transfer their funds to a Lifetime ISA without incurring any penalties. The Lifetime ISA allows first-time buyers to benefit from the Government bonus when purchasing properties up to £450,000 anywhere in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Further information on the Lifetime ISA together with a comprehensive list other forms of home purchase support schemes can be found on the Government’s website below:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.ownyourhome.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://www.ownyourhome.gov.uk/</a></p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 25/10/2022 13:36:45 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
