New build mortgage 6 months

Young first-time buyers will be given a boost in next week's budget by the return of 95% mortgages. The new scheme, to be unveiled by Chancellor Rishi Sunak on Wednesday, will see more mortgages with deposits of just 5% made available. The Tories are trying to stimulate the housing market and get more younger people onto the housing ladder. Boris Johnson said he wants to "turn generation rent into generation buy". Mortgages with 5% deposits have been stopped by most banks during the Covid pandemic. The new scheme is to be a successor to the Help to Buy mortgage scheme introduced by David Cameron and George Osborne in 2013, and Treasury officials are hopeful it could have a big impact on the market, the Times reports. It comes as Mr Sunak also is expected to announce that the stamp duty deadline of March 31 is extended for up to three months longer. Currently all property purchases up to £500,000 are exempt from stamp duty, but the holiday is due to end next month, … [Read more...] about Budget 2021: First-time buyers to get major mortgage boost with return of 5% deposits

A BROKE mum became a millionaire after coming up with her own baby mat idea while on maternity leave - starting a company now worth £3m (US$4m). Mum-of-two Alana Hands, 41, saw a need for nicer looking, and safer, foam play mats for her kids after spending $300 (£169/US$240) on a "very ugly" design which led to her son's injury. When her first child Chloe was born in 2013, she purchased the pricey foam mat with pull-out letters which she also used three years later for her second baby, Rupurt. But Alana, from Brisbane, Australia, said she'd turned away for a minute and in that time he'd "pulled he puzzle pieces apart", fell forward and hurt his head. That's when she got the idea to create her own, and within just 30 minutes of launching a website she'd sold her first one - which led her to rake in over $200k (£113K/US$160k) in the first year alone. Alana told her story to Kidspot: “Rupert was six months old, trying to crawl on our ABC playmat and he’d pulled the … [Read more...] about I was a broke new mum when I came up with a genius baby mat idea – now my company is worth £3m

"My message today is very clear: it’s time to get building.” So said Sajid Javid, from the platform of last month’s Conservative party conference. M indful that high house prices frustrate numerous voters trying to get on the property ladder, leading politicians have long been calling for more house building. But, in front of the Tory party faithful in Birmingham in early October, the communities secretary’s rhetoric went further – way further – than any cabinet minister before him. “The big developers must release their stranglehold on supply,” he said, tearing into UK’s all-powerful house building industry. “It’s time to stop sitting on land banks and stop delaying build-out. The homebuyers must come first”. With these words, accusing the house-builders and developers of deliberately restricting supply, to keep prices high and so boost profits, Javid transformed a notion long-dismissed as a conspiracy theory into the official view of the Government. Using terms like … [Read more...] about It’s time to get building: Sajid Javid pledges to break the housebuilding logjam
