One of the government's flagship home ownership
programmes ends on Saturday, amidst both praise and criticism. The Help-to-Buy
Mortgage Guarantee scheme is likely to have helped more than 100,000 individuals
or couples buy a home. The Council of Mortgage Lenders said it had worked
"exceptionally well", making mortgages more available when it started
in October 2013. However Shelter has argued that the scheme helped to push up
house prices. The Help-to-Buy Equity Loan scheme - which is only available on
new-build homes - will remain on offer until 2020, in England alone. Read more
