As the secondary legislation required for the delivery of starter homes is not yet in place, no starter homes have been built. We intend to lay the regulations before Parliament in due course.

While we develop these regulations the Government continues to focus on restoring the dream of home ownership to the hard working people who are struggling to get on the housing ladder. Since 2010, Government-backed schemes have helped over 540,000 households to buy a home and the number of first-time buyers is at the highest rate for 11 years.
