They have nothing to lose with house prices going down. They should be helping people who were yesterdays first time buyers keep their homes. Those who bought in the last few years who are struggling to survive at high interest rates! Some of them with new families and so on. I am one of these people faced with 40% mortgage increase because my 30% equity has reduced to 10%. I have lived in my flat for 11 years and it's my home. I am not about to be forced onto the street because the government wants to help some first time buyer take my home away from me! They should be helping vulnerable people who bought a home in the past 5 years who are already established. It is not write to kick 30 somethings out of their homes to make way for 20 somethings!

I guess the government is concerned falling house prices will exacerbate the economic slowdown. Yes, Most people earn less than £60,000.

The national average income is only around £20,000 so does this apply to almost everyone except city slickers? The government are talking a load of bananas recently. Stamp duty holidays, councils buying back houses, 0% loans for an equity share? How does this actually help anyone? It's simply a government panicing and spending money it doesn't have.
