This major new research paper by BSA investigates what building societies are doing to help people, and especially first time buyers, buy a home.
The report finds that societies, with their historic interest in helping people buy a home, have responded enthusiastically to the problems that people are now encountering affording a home by developing a wide range of innovative mortgage products specifically designed to help.
However, the report finds that more can be done to allow more people to buy, including
- greater lender input into Government schemes
- reform of the section 106 planning system
- greater help for buyers saving for a deposit
- greater levels of housebuilding
