announced in the government\u2019s Spending Review last month<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe mortgage guarantee scheme previously provided a government guarantee on 95% LTV loans between 80% and 95%.<\/p>\n
The new version will see lenders pay a fee to the Treasury to provide guarantees against potential losses on 95% loan-to-value mortgages in the event of repossession.<\/p>\n
The Chancellor is expected to make the announcement at the upcoming Mansion House speech on July 15, the Financial Times<\/em> said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nGuy Gittins, chief executive at Foxtons, said: \u201cGovernment support for first-time buyers is always welcome \u2013 but more needs to be done.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe end of the stamp duty holiday has shown that high stamp duty rates are a barrier for anyone trying to get on, or move up, or even downsize on the property ladder.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge the government to rethink current stamp duty thresholds. A meaningful review could make a real difference for hardworking people across the UK striving to find a home that fits their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The mortgage guarantee scheme was originally one of two Help to Buy lending schemes in 2013. It was relaunched in 2021 as the mortgage guarantee scheme during the covid-19 pandemic, but it expired at the end of last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
