In November 2013, RBS established RBS Capital Resolution (RCR), an internal bad bank, in order to separate and wind down RBS\u2019s poorly-performing and high-risk assets. RBS transferred £38 billion of \u2018high-risk\u2019 legacy assets to RCR. RCR is managed separately from the main bank, and the aim is to wind down these assets in full within three years. As a result, there is not any intention to transfer additional assets in or out of RCR.<\/p>
<\/p>
Further details on the operations, objectives and composition of loans in RCR can be found in the Government\u2019s Bad Bank Review available at:<\/p>

The Help to Buy scheme continues to support responsible lending with the average property value considerably less than the national average. The average house price under the scheme as a whole is around £190,000, compared to the national average of £272,000.<\/p>
<\/p>
Over 50,000 households have benefitted from the scheme to date. The scheme is supporting lending in all regions and over 94% of mortgages bought under the scheme have been outside London. Mortgage completions have been particularly high in the North West and Scotland.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government publishes quarterly Official Statistics relating to the Help to Buy: mortgage guarantee scheme. The most recent of these were published on 2 September.<\/p>
