Government plans homebuyer website

The website www.ownyourhome.gov.uk will cover Right to Buy, Help to Buy and the Help to Buy ISA.

A joint statement from number 10, the Treasury and DCLG said: “The British Social Attitudes Survey shows 86% of people have the ambition to own their own home, and the government aims to support them with a target of helping one million people into home ownership through government backed initiatives by 2020.

“Since 2010, over 200,000 people across the UK have already benefited from the government’s home buying initiatives, opening the door to home ownership.

“Visitors to the government’s new website are able to quickly find the schemes that could help them by answering a few simple questions.”
