The Help to Buy schemes have created 131 new homeowners
every day since April 2013, says Housing Minister Brandon Lewis. Mr Lewis said
the figures show Help to Buy is an important part of the government’s efforts

opportunity to do so. Since the launch of the schemes, over 100,000 people have
used the Help to Buy equity loan, mortgage guarantee and NewBuy schemes at a
fraction of the deposit they would normally require. Four out of the 5 of these
were first-time buyers – and 94% of the sales were outside of London. Read more
