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.
