Help To Buy will have tied up some £29bn in cash terms by
the time in concludes in 2023 – but the value of what it has achieved is

homes more affordable or addressed other pressing housing problems such as the
planning system and homelessness. In June, the National Audit Office released
its own report into Help To Buy that found almost a third of buyers could have
purchased a property they wanted without the help of the scheme. Read the PAC
report on the Parliament website.
