https://www.theguardian.com/money/2023/jul/05/help-to-buy-has-trapped-me-in-an-unsellable-cladded-flat Help to Buy is an unregulated financial product with zero oversight , and close to no recourse. Homes England have recently changed the administrator of the loan WITHOUT INFORMING BORROWERS. #housing #housingcrisis #helptobuy #BuildingSafetyCrisis

#GeorgeOsborne's #HelptoBuy scheme (now wound down) has not been the success he claims.

as Phillip Inman concludes, its 'real legacy has been to massively inflate the market, swell housebuilders’ profits & leave many buyers in negative equity' as well as underpaying the building of a lot of shoddy #housing.

Who really benefitted? Surprise, surprise, the major construction firms; not the people who Osborne claims did well out if the scheme.

More #tory bullish*t
