Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
Help to Buy Wales is a shared equity loan scheme designed to support home ownership, stimulate building activity and provide a boost to the housing sector and wider economy. Help to Buy Wales support is available to all home buyers (not just first-time buyers) who wish to purchase a new home but may be constrained in doing so – for example, as a result of deposit requirements – but who could otherwise be expected to repay a mortgage. On 10th December 2015, the Welsh Government announced it was investing up to a further £290 million in the second phase of Help to Buy – Wales with the additional funding aiming to support the construction of more than 6,000 further new Welsh homes by 2021. On 18th September 2020 it was announced that the Help to Buy scheme would extend for a further 12 months to March 2022 with the possibility for a further extension to March 2023. This further extension was confirmed in a written statement on 24 March 2021. The third phase of the scheme from April 2021 introduced some changes to the scheme including a reduction of the maximum purchase price to £250,000. In December 2022 the Minister for Climate Change announced the scheme in Wales would continue until March 2025 with all homes sold through the scheme needing to meet a minimum of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) B and the purchase price cap rising from £250,000 to £300,000. In December 2024 the decision was made to further extend the Help to Buy Wales shared equity loan scheme to September 2026.
