It's no surprise that the house-building sector is cooling mentor, when prospective first-time buyers are excluded from the market due to pricing pressures and the need for a sizable deposit.

for all that, there remains huge pressure to build houses everywhere, even gobbling up more and more greenbelt
under current legislation, any new development has to include a specified proportion of "starter homes" whatever that may mean ...... certainly one of the smart developments in RBK&C were less than thrilled to find a bunch of grenfell tower "homeless" taking up residence in part of their block (hard cheese!)

It means that "starter homes" usually means ending up nothing like affordable homes in practise.

Manuel,
Consider policies in home/house ownership as a consolidation of wealth in a smaller and smaller section of the population.
Also, consider the effects of doing so.
Consider the change of expectancies and goals.

house ownership, like worthless uni education (attendance!), is deemed a holy grail, but houses will still be needed whether for end-users to own or to rent

re - chart
consider the size is 1000 and most computers will show as Max 900 MAM allows 920 but the top of MAM from home to help is only 900.
Others can say if they can see it all or have to scroll just a bit more to see the end of the chart

UK govt says incorrect to infer "Help to Buy" review means cancellation
Fri, 4th Aug 2017 10:30
LONDON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - The British government said that it was incorrect to infer that its 'Help to Buy' scheme, aimed at boosting home ownership, would be cancelled after a review of the programme.
Shares of UK homebuilders slumped on Friday after trade publication Property Week said the scheme could be wound up early, citing a review into the programme to be conducted by the London School of Economics.
"The department regularly reviews the Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme, with the last review taking place in 2015," a spokesman from the Department for Communities and Local Government said. "To infer from this that the Help to Buy Equity Loan scheme will be cancelled is simply incorrect."
