First-time buyer scheme ¿risks plunge in prices¿ | Mail Online

First-time buyers are at risk of owning a home which will plunge in value under the Prime Minister’s scheme to help get them on the property ladder, experts warned.

The move will allow people to buy a home in England who have a deposit worth only 5 per cent of its value. At present, a typical first-time buyer needs about 20 per cent of the value.

Under the scheme, the government would underwrite part of the risk to lenders.
