#YourFirstHome
Nearly half the new builds sold in England in 2024 and 2025 were detached houses. Only 12% of those were priced at or under their council's new Your First Home cap. For semis it was 71%, terraces 75% and flats 63%. #YourFirstHome

Well done on #YourFirstHome but there are 6 million older people who face a retirement with exorbitant monthly rent bills or outstanding mortgage.

Nobody can advise about #OPSO, and social housing waiting lists are huge. What is being done about them?

Of course builders are in favour of the #YourFirstHome scheme

They get to charge more for houses. The government makes them affordable for youngsters, while established families get charged even more, but without help

How many poor house builders are there? How many pay full tax?
