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
@9PQJS569mos9MO
No, but they should permanently abolish stamp duty for first-time homebuyers and raise the Lifetime ISA limit on home prices.
@B3HNGHR6 days6D
Yes, and eventually go further by creating a National Shelter Service, like the NHS but fir housing.
@9QMXK228mos8MO
We need a new EFFECTIVE help to buy scheme that doesn’t increase prices and reward greedy developers
@9QMWSL68mos8MO
Subsidies Will just raise prices. Disincentivise owning more than one property and improve housing supply
@9QM4L7D8mos8MO
No but they should introduce punitive additional taxes for non-owner-occupiers such as landlords and property investors that are high enough that prices drop into the affordability range for first time buyers.
@9QLR7LR8mos8MO
Perhaps yes but not at the expense of the taxpayer. I don’t work hard to help buy someone else a house when I have my own mortgage to pay for
@9QKZJCV8mos8MO
No. House purchasing laws should be reformed. Gazumping not allowed. Estate agents should have a formula for pricing etc
