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>

This report, along with accompanying tables, can be found at: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/help-to-buy-mortgage-guarantee-scheme-quarterly-statistics-october-2013-to-june-2014<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

The Government also publishes monthly statistics on the number of homes purchased with the support of the Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme, by local authority in England.
