Wealthy homeowners received millions in public money under Government scheme to help first-time buyers

Hundreds of millions of pounds of public money has been given to thousands of wealthy homeowners under a flagship Government scheme designed to help first-time buyers, new analysis has revealed.

More than 5,500 homeowners earning above £100,000 a year have benefitted from taxpayer-funded Help to Buy loans that are aimed at helping people get on the housing ladder, according to The Independent’s analysis of government data.

Since the scheme was introduced in 2013, 5,545 households with an income of more than £100,000 received Help to Buy loans, including 1,287 households that already owned a property.

Tories are only interested in helping maintain high house prices then helping wealthy people increase their wealth. No wonder we have a housing crisis and it's getting worse. Help for first time buyers sounds good, it's propaganda, like so much of Tory policy. Media friendly title but used to enrich the already wealthy rather than solve the problem it's purported to.

There was a documentary on tv last year about how many social rent or council houses had been built in developments that promised it. The result was near zero. It was dispatches and revealed how luxury housing was built rather than affordable homes. Some sites even sold by government to developers at knock down prices for the purpose of affordable homes.

The Great Housing Scandal: Channel 4 Dispatches

Harry Wallop investigates the failure to build enough houses in the UK, a generation have been priced out of the property market, but instead of affordable homes being built we find plush mansions and plans for luxury hotels. Dispatches also discovers deals done with big developers which could have potentially lost the taxpayer millions.

Tory corruption wherever you look.

The big housing scandal that will become more and more obvious as time goes on is the eradication of all council housing.
All those houses will soon be in the hands of Tory landlords as all traces of socialism are eradicated.

Nearly there Jack. It's taken a few years but come the end of this government if it goes full term, I don't think any social housing will exist in anything but private hands and be forced to charge 'market rents'.


The Great Housing Rip Off?
Panorama

With a shortage of social housing, and the private rented market booming, reporter John Sweeney investigates the so-called 'rogue landlords' - the housing barons accused of receiving large amounts of housing benefit while using the small print in their tenancy agreements to exploit the poor and vulnerable.

Councils say they don't have the right laws to combat them, but with the new housing minister ruling out any changes in the law, Panorama examines a problem that is not going to go away.

Four out five homes built on NHS land 'will be unaffordable on a nurse's salary'

Four out of five homes being built on NHS land will be unaffordable on a nurse’s salary, despite the Government’s pledge to give NHS staff “first refusal” on new properties, a report has found.

Analysis by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) think tank looked at 59 NHS sites that have been sold off to private developers as part of the Government’s Public Land for Housing programme.

It says that commitments to offer affordable homes to NHS staff will be worth little, particularly in places like London where only one site has affordable housing in reach on a nurse’s salary.

Instead, public land held by NHS hospitals and organisations is being ”flogged off” to provide luxury homes and “massive profits for developers”.

In the capital the average cost will be £561,589, which the NEF said would require a nurse to save for 117 years just to afford a 20 per cent deposit.

It has also highlighted how some developers were able to sidestep requirements to build affordable homes by haggling or using “loopholes” in the planning system.

This includes development on the former site of Bucknall hospital in Stoke-on-Trent, where developer Keep Moat are building 201 houses, “not one of which would be classed as affordable”.

There you have it, rising population with an elderly demographic needing care so 'let's shut down hospitals and build luxury homes'.

This is the distraction whilst the very fabric of our nation is being torn apart and handed out by the looters to themselves friends and family.
I'm betting some think that's an exaggeration .....

Yes I've encountered those low IQ morons on Guido, when you say Thatcher did that to their rant about New Labour they are flummoxed completely. It's so funny to watch.

It is sad that morons repeat lies denying it was NAZI policy.
Did you see that Twitter thread about an American teacher that schooled a Fascist who thought NAZIs were Socialist?

The Indy100 had an article about this twat being so publicly owned.
