No, the money should be used to build more social housing
@9PQJS566mos6MO
No, but they should permanently abolish stamp duty for first-time homebuyers and raise the Lifetime ISA limit on home prices.
@9S38LG35mos5MO
Yes but it would have a way larger window to be able to pay it off once the persons are financially stable

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.
@9QTTF8G6mos6MO
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.
@9QSH7HN6mos6MO
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
@9QSD9MB6mos6MO
Yes - But only for certain individuals, vetting process of income, deposit etc should be provide to ensure only those who need help receive it.
@9QS9VW66mos6MO
yes but this depends on how badly they need it and should only be put in place to prevent them from going homeless
