A sign the economy is moving forward

It's only available to folks with no other properties though....

But it doesn't stop you buying another property subsequently. Also, I doubt it stops one spouse owning a property already and the other buying under help to buy. And then the first spouse could let the first property. MADNESS!

Help to buy is going to be extended to old houses (I think).

The spice (credit) must flow.

And then 1st spouse could transfer first (let) property to second spouse and use help to buy to fund a second home.

The housing market seems to have picked up a lot in the last four weeks, sold our house, a FTB property in two days at full asking price and had to pay asking price for our next property. Seems the new help to buy scheme is setting expectations that the 2007 peaks will be crushed, even outside of the South East.

That or is a cracking bit of politics that's freed up the housing market and they will pull the scheme before it starts.
