These subsidies are financial aids from the government to help individuals purchase their first home, making homeownership more accessible. Proponents argue that it helps people afford their first home and promotes homeownership. Opponents argue that it distorts the housing market and could lead to higher prices.

No, the money should be used to build more social housing
@9PQJS564mos4MO
No, but they should permanently abolish stamp duty for first-time homebuyers and raise the Lifetime ISA limit on home prices.
@9T7NNYL2mos2MO
If settling for the first time in the country, houses should be less expensive to convinse people to move to the country and grow the economy
@9SBTMJP2mos2MO
Yes, but lower the amount of subsidies because grants can fill the amount of money up for first-time homebuyers who just finished school. Those who didnt finish school a long time ago are provided a regular amount of subsidies.
@9S38LG33mos3MO
Yes but it would have a way larger window to be able to pay it off once the persons are financially stable
@8SZTB3Z 3mos3MO
How exactly could this to introduced and made to work? Long-term economic security is needed for people to consider taking on mortgages and there is precious little sign of that in the current economy - amid the lingering question about how the British economy can prosper in post-Brexit Britain.
@9QTTF8G4mos4MO
Yes if it is clear houses are all unaffordable but if they are reasonable to all, first-time buyers should be buying at that same rate.
@9QSH7HN4mos4MO
I think by strong rent control and making it harder to become a landlord will bring housing market down. We need a real living wage. People should be able to buy a house without needing assistance from the government in the first place
