Savills expects England’s new-build completions to reach around 190,000 annually from 2029-30, up 25% from anticipated 2026-27 levels.
Your First Home’s £4.7 billion funding is expected to support around 65,000 new-home sales over five years.
New-build sales rates should remain low until the scheme’s first supported sales complete in April 2027.
Local price caps may push housebuilders toward smaller homes; the scheme is expected to be effective only in London’s outer boroughs.
The scheme should improve housebuilders’ sales certainty and support medium-term land demand, though its volume boost should trail Help to Buy.
