Government figures show that of the 7,313 mortgages completed under Help To Buy 2 since its launch in October 2013, just 5 per cent were in the capital.

Some 14 per cent of purchases under Help To Buy 2 were in the North-west, 14 per cent in the South-east and 9 per cent in the East Midlands, Yorkshire and Humberside and the East. Around 80 per cent of home loans completed under the scheme were to first-time buyers. Read more on the Independent website.
