Swinton welcomes measures to help first-time buyers get mortgages

An insurance provider has welcomed measures in last week's Budget aimed at helping first-time buyers to afford a property and be accepted for a mortgage.

Chancellor George Osborne said the government is to offer interest-free loans for five years to people who earn less than £60,000 and want to purchase a new-build property.

This will mean they will only have to save up for a deposit of five per cent of the value of the home and should be able to get better interest rates from lenders on mortgages.

Swinton said this is a good move, especially since recent research from the firm found that 96 per cent of people currently think it is too difficult to buy a first property.

Insurance development manager Steve Chelton said: "This is great news for a market that has struggled with the drastic increase in the price of homes and will hopefully stimulate a crippling housing market."
