Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the average property value under the Mortgage Guarantee Scheme compared to the UK average house price.

The Mortgage Guarantee Scheme is designed to support and sustain the availability of low deposit mortgage products for first-time buyers and home movers with a deposit as small as 5%.

All property types of any value are eligible, and the Scheme will now remain permanently available to lenders in all regions of the UK.
