Podcasts about help to buy

The 2025 Budget managed to squeeze in a few pre-election surprises. A teeny tax cut, a decision to 'do nothing' on pension access (with unchanged deeming rates) and a genuine move to upgrade the government's signature Shared Home Ownership program.The so-called Help To Buy scheme will be very popular, but what are the risks? In this episode, Will Hamilton of Hamilton Wealth Partners joins Associate Editor - Wealth, James Kirby. ----- In today's show, we cover * The biggest thing for First Home Buyers in years- Help To Buy* Why bracket creep undermines all tax cuts * Is the $3m super tax dead or alive?* Should long-term investors be influenced by today's dividend yields? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First home buyers and low- to middle-income earners will be happy with recent changes to the Help to Buy scheme, making the financial burden of taking out a mortgage that little bit easier. This was the topic of discussion in this latest episode of Broker Daily Uncut, with Jack Campbell and Alex Whitlock. Also discussed was the recent payroll tax inquiry held at NSW Parliament. The outcome is up in the air but still has brokers heated as the implications could be severe for the industry.

In the second of our two part series, we look at housing policy since 1970; and ask whether there has ever been a coherent approach.

A collective of local farmers are fighting back against the carving out of Australian agricultural land by foreign buyers, planning to purchase property in an industry dominated by corporations. The 200-year old ‘Woolnorth' dairy farm in Tasmania was recently been put on the market, and while the growing trend is for such land to be snapped up by multinational companies, Circular Head Farming Group's President and proud farmer Stephen Fisher told Millsy and Karl on 6PR Breakfast he feels a strong drive to consolidate and protect local industry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You might have seen in the news a couple of days back that, to make Britain's unaffordable housing affordable, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and the Treasury are considering a scheme whereby people can buy homes with a deposit of just 1% and get a 99% mortgage.Thus, in theory, you could buy a one million pound home with just a ten-grand deposit.(I expect they will cap it below that level, but you get the point).It has become a cliché of the internet, but we say it anyway: “what could possibly go wrong?” It's good to see the lessons from 2008 have been learned.Who would guarantee these loans should the buyer default? You would. You probably didn't know this, but you're already guaranteeing £4 billion under the existing mortgage guarantee scheme. You could soon be guaranteeing a whole lot more.Remember how they used taxpayer money to bail out the banks in 2008 and it was called “socialism for the rich”? This is the same thing, except this time they are bailing out the housing market. The Tories have this annoying (and mendacious) habit of leaking a policy to the press before it is actually policy to see how it goes down. I say mendacious because it is misleading. If they had any actual first principles by which they operated, then they would not do this. Instead, what sets policy is what Tories think might make them popular.In any case, I would hope this is another one of those test-the-water leaks, rather than something we will see come the next Budget in March, because it will send prices higher, just like its predecessor Help To Buy did, and that is the last thing we want. The solution to unaffordable housing is lower prices, not more debt.But regardless of whether the scheme gets the go-ahead or not, it still tells us all we need to know about how the Blob is going to fix Britain's housing crisis: it isn't. Instead, it's going to come up with increasingly innovative ways to bring more debt into the market and thereby send prices even higher.It was the same after the Global Financial Crisis in 2008. There was a chance to let the whole thing reset. Instead, we got suppressed interest rates, Quantitative Easing and then Help To Buy, all of which protected the already-haves at the expense of the have-nots. Labour won't make a jot of difference, by the way. It is just as bereft of first principles. That is how Keir Starmer is going to win the next General Election: by not standing for anything. Not that it matters who wins. The Blob still runs the place.The destructive effects of high house pricesIt makes me weep what high house prices have done to this country. I see an entire generation, if not two, psychologically damaged, almost beyond repair, because they cannot afford somewhere decent to live.They feel inadequate. They delay starting families, or have smaller families, or have no children at all because they cannot afford anywhere to house them. They then hate themselves because they have no children.The result of smaller families later in life is population decline. The Blob then says there aren't enough young people and opens the doors to mass immigration. Guess what happens then? Cheap imported labour pushes wages down, but increases demand for housing and essential services. State systems are too slow to adapt. Housing gets even more unaffordable. It is the most vicious of vicious circles.Locals are then told that priority in the workplace must be given to the newcomer because diversity. Complain and you are racist. Your history is bad, by the way. And you wonder why everything is such a clusterfook.Why do you think so many young people are so nihilistic? Because deep down they know they are never going to be able to afford anywhere decent to live, never mind pay off their student loans or have a family. They are, effectively, excluded from society. But stop drinking lattes and work harder.Who do you know who can afford to buy somewhere where they grew up? I know I can't, and I'm part of the One Percent. It's the opposite of progress. When people can't afford to live where they gre w up, they lose touch with their roots, their traditions, their culture, the very land. And you wonder why we have lost touch with who we are.All because of stupid house prices.Houses are not expensive to build. Look here's a 1,400 sq ft, 4-bed house with a 145 sq ft porch for £45,000. Delivery in six weeks.Looks nice, no?The issue is land, and it's a needless issue that goes all the way back to one of the most insidious and stupid bits of legislation ever enacted, The Town and Country Planning Act of 1947. When you create debt, you create money. The more money you bring into a market, the higher prices go. See student loans for more details. When that market is limited in how much it can expand, which is the case with UK housing because of restrictive planning laws, you get our situation where houses have gone up by three and half times more than wages.All the Treasury is doing with this policy is finding new ways to get more money into this market. There is only one way that will send house prices. It will only make things worse.The solution to unaffordable housing is lower prices. The Blob will not let that happen.By all means prop up the housing market. The cost will be your country.Further reading on the housing market:* Why Houses Cost So Much* What Really Causes Inflation* A Solution This is a public episode.

For almost 10 years, the Help to Buy scheme proved incredibly successful in helping over a quarter of a million borrowers across the UK to buy a home. But, with this scheme now having ended in England and Scotland, this leads to the question of what – if anything – can replace it. In the latest episode of Barclays Mortgage Insider podcast, host Phil Spencer is joined by Mobeen Akram, New Homes Director at the Mortgage Advice Bureau and Mitch Atkins, director at Michael Usher Mortgage Services as they delve into the history of Help to Buy, why it worked, why it ended, alternative buying schemes and the challenges facing young house buyers. The conversation also highlights some of the government-backed and private schemes currently available to help first-time buyers, including Lifetime ISA's, the First Homes Scheme and shared ownership. It also touches on individual mortgage products such as Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor, the increasingly prominent role being played by the Bank of Mum and Dad, intergenerational lending and the Barclays Springboard mortgage. So, what might replace Help to Buy in the future? This episode was recorded on 24th October 2023 prior to the Autumn Statement and the latest Bank of England base rate decision. Mortgage Insider is a Fresh Air Production for Barclays created by Julie-Anna Needham and Annie Day with Helen Carter and Sophie Devonport from Barclays. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Mark gives his thoughts on recent property news. He talks about current planning restrictions, ground rent problems and gives his educated opinion about the new suggested help-to-buy scheme from Jeremy Hunt. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jeremy Hunt is looking at creating a similar scheme to the previous help to buy where the government helps fund houses for buyers, including on existing homes. The previous help-to-buy schemes were often overpriced and put lenders and the government at some risk. Planning is preventing much-needed house building. Until this changes we can't tackle the housing crisis in the UK. There is a government consultation that has just been completed to cap extortionate ground rents for existing leases. BEST MOMENTS  "Jeremy Hunt is looking at reintroducing a help-to-buy type scheme” “It was a great gravy train for the developers” “They're not building anywhere enough, due to planning” VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

An Ennis-based auctioneer fears extending the Help To Buy scheme to second-hand homes could exacerbate the housing supply crisis. The scheme, which was introduced in 2020, allows first-time buyers to claim up to €30,000 or 10% of the value of their home back through tax and is aimed and stimulating housing supply. Following suggestions from Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil backbenchers that the scheme could be extended to second-hand homes, Minister for Finance Michael McGrath has said there are "no plans" to do so. Diarmuid McMahon of Sherry Fitzgerald McMahon in Ennis says allowing those purchasing second-hand homes to avail of the scheme wouldn't get to the root of the supply issue.

The housing crisis was the focus of the latest tranche of statistics from last year's Census which has been released today. The census found that just under 48,000 homes that were vacant in the 2016 census were also vacant in 2022 - while the same period saw a 37% increase in the average rent. Eoin Ó Broin TD, Sinn Féin Spokesperson for Housing joined Kieran to discuss…

With the Help to Buy scheme closed, Shared Ownership is another fantastic option for first-time buyers.  So why aren't the Government promoting it?

Last week, the Bank of England announced an interest rate hike of 0.25%, which will have a significant impact on the UK property market. The change will impact mortgages, remortgages, and first-time buyers, and it comes just in time for the last day of the Help to Buy scheme. Join me online on my free live training Wednesday at 8.00PM. Places are limited, so register now below to avoid disappointment. https://bit.ly/3QPp8IH Money Tips Podcast guest, Miriam Nawagamuwa CeMAP, Mortgage and Protection Advisor with Larkin Financial Services Ltd gives her expert views on the mortgage market. Fixed-rate mortgages will remain unaffected by the interest rate hike, which is good news for those who have locked in their mortgage rates for a fixed period. However, for those who are looking to remortgage, this could mean an increase in monthly payments. Watch YouTube Video Podcast Version: https://youtu.be/iRrL3GRY3-8 The Bank of England's interest rate hike is a response to rising inflation, which has been fuelled by increasing energy costs and supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic. The aim is to curb inflation and stabilize the economy, but the move could also affect property prices. The Nationwide just announced the largest fall in house prices since 2009 and said that prices were down 3.1% on March 2022. Higher interest rates mean that mortgages will become more expensive, which could lead to a decrease in demand for properties. This could result in a slowdown in the property market, as potential buyers may become more cautious about making big financial decisions. The end of the Help to Buy scheme is also significant for first-time buyers. The scheme has helped many people get onto the property ladder by offering government-backed equity loans. From the 1st of April 2023, the scheme will come to an end, which means that first-time buyers may find it harder to get on the property ladder. One alternative option for first-time buyers is the Lifetime ISA, which is a tax-free savings account that can be used to buy a first home or used after age 60 for retirement. The account allows savers to put away up to £4,000 per year, and the government will top up the account with a 25% bonus - £1,000. In summary, the Bank of England's interest rate hike will impact the UK property market in several ways. Fixed-rate mortgages will remain unaffected, but remortgages, tracker and variable rate mortgages, as well as first-time buyers will be hit.  The end of the Help to Buy scheme could also make it harder for first-time buyers to get onto the property ladder. As always, it's essential to seek professional advice before making any financial decisions in the current climate. Need more help with your money, finances or debt?

So today we saw a rate rise of 25 basis points which i think was to calm down all the inflation talk uh but i really want to elaborate on labor's plan of co-ownership today um so please note as always everything discussed here is done so for entertainment purposes only i've not taken into account your personal circumstances nor your risk profile so you should seek professional advice before making any investment decisions so today i want to talk about the rba rate move and also the labor shared equity ownership scheme um so firstly let's talk about the rate rise so that you went up by 25 basis points um and i personally think that we are going to see a slowdown on the back of this over the coming months not just really because of the rate rise but i think just on the back of weaker consumer confidence across the board um which is going to mean you know less demand and i think that also you know at some point rba is going to potentially start to see these issues as more supply side challenges and thus you know may not see increasing rates as the you know endless solution if you will um but that remains to be seen and um and i think the 0.25 today was really to satisfy a lot of the sort of calls that are happening around particularly in the media at the moment um around you know cost of living and inflation um so that's i guess the big news but what i wanted to talk about really was this um this shared equity scheme by labor so basically the policy is called help to buy and basically this is where the government will contribute up to 40 of the property price for a new property and up to 30 percent for an existing home and then will basically participate in that portion of the capital gain when the property is sold later on so the scheme would be made available not only to first home buyers but also people who've owned a home in the past to buy with a smaller deposit and a smaller mortgage because keeping in mind you know if the government still owns 40 you only have to finance the other 60 percent and um you know pay the mortgage um you know on that and so um even more interestingly i want to actually focus in on some comments uh from mark latham so um you know if you follow politics at all you probably know that he's with one nation these days i try not to get too political on this podcast but i want to mention that i'm an immigrant myself i believe that multiculturalism is one of the best things about this country um and so i am definitely not a one nation um supporter in general um but i wanted to talk about his comments today because i think his comments were very interesting um and he notes that in his words that there is a massive loophole because it is not means tested now basically means tested means whether the government is looking at what are the assets you hold um which can also be income generating assets um so basically what i'm going to do here is i'm going to quote him verbatim because you know we don't do financial advice on this podcast so his um word for word quote is the loophole is you sell your current home put the money in the stock market live on the dividends up to 120 000 a year and then you can buy with a 40 assistance from the government so about a 400 grand government subsidy a 950 000 new home in a place like nelson bay or port stevens so that's literally a word for word verbatim quote um and so yeah i thought that was quite interesting and further to that in an article that i was reading about this on sky news um he said that he had spoken to one of his sons about actually selling his existing home to put that money into the stock market to live on the dividends and then mark latham added again word for word it's pretty good going it's inequitable it's a loophole it's tempting um and so certainly some interesting comments and again verbatim and i just thought look um it's too juicy not to share um and so i guess just to elaborate a bit further on the scheme you know those who are eligible will need at least a two percent deposit and must still qualify for a standard home loan with the participating lender um and i note that this has just been announced so um you know there hasn't been uh any background commentary from banks to brokers on this that i've seen at the time of recording here as yet um so i mean this is all quite new and i'm not quite sure what i personally think of all of this as yet um you know in theory if you are an owner occupier and you don't care about the capital growth um then you know two percent deposit and the government kicking in 40 you know um it sort of you know makes sense in terms of getting a better property than you might have otherwise been able to afford uh so you know from that standpoint it is good um from the sort of property investment standpoint you know i think it is also good for stimulating the demand for housing uh particularly up to the thresholds for the caps so um you know i believe that's area dependent you know so the properties that are under the cap you know are going to have this um i guess boost from the government um and uh another thing that i was thinking about with this is that if the government is 30 or 40 percent of the title so 30 if it's an established property 40 if it's a new one then um you would think that the government is not going to be too keen on prices collapsing because they are you know part of the equity on the property and you know the applicant is only putting in two percent so you know if you're in for two percent and the government's in for 40 um you know the government is really uh a partner with you in that transaction so um you would think that the government would want to support um prices that being said you know the rba's key mandate is not just to support the property market or anything like that they are related to one uh inflation basically uh so certainly some interesting uh news today um and look the idea of you know what he's saying here selling up and you know putting the money in shares i won't and i can't advise on that um you need to look at someone else there there are obviously a lot of podcasts that focus on on that side of investing um and whether this is a good idea or not is you know you need to seek financial advice on that um i've not taken into account your personal circumstances nor your risk profile and i'm not a financial advisor and i'm not an accountant i provide um you know commentary on property market and credit only because i am a mortgage broker but look this article today i just thought was so juicy i thought i had to share it and i hope that some people also found this interesting i really appreciate you tuning in as always thank you so much
