answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2021 answer text <p>Each year the Help to Buy scheme requires new homes to be built out by 31 December and legally complete by the end of the financial year (31 March). This is a contractual requirement that developers are obliged to meet and to only take reservations on that basis.</p><p>Following the initial effects of Covid-19 with the hiatus to construction during the first national lockdown, we announced changes to the contractual deadlines on 31 July, which provided developers using Help to Buy an extra two months’ build time. This meant they had until 28 February 2021 to build out properties with the deadline for legal completion remaining at 31 March 2021. Additionally, where reservations were agreed before 30 June 2020, they were granted some further flexibility allowing such reservations to practically complete by 30 April and legally complete by 31 May 2021.</p><p>Working in line with sector guidance, the construction industry has been allowed to continue during the subsequent Covid-19 restrictions. Reservations for the current scheme were closed on 15 December, providing builders sufficient time to complete their orders.</p><p>Meanwhile, to mitigate against the risk of outstanding reservations not completing in time, Homes England announced on 15 January that it will not enforce the practical completion deadline of 28 February 2021 for the current scheme, thereby maximising the remaining time available time for developers to build out.</p><p>These measures provide relief for developers to build out homes delayed by Covid-19.

uin	124700
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2020 answer text <p>First Homes, our new home ownership scheme, will be prioritised for first-time buyers and will allow them to buy a new home with a discount of at least 30 per cent under market value. In some areas, the discounts could be as high as 50 per cent. This will significantly reduce both deposit and mortgage requirements and open up the dream of home ownership to even more people.</p><p>Our new Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme from April 2021 to March 2023 will be targeted at helping first-time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder.</p><p>As set out in the Conservative manifesto of December 2019, the Government will encourage a market in long-term fixed rate mortgages with low deposits to promote home ownership. We stand ready to work with the sector to explore the possible options to bring these products to market.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 11/12/2020 11:27:36 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
