Graham Evans – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Graham Evans on 2016-02-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many homeowners have accessed (a) Help to Buy and (b) Right to Buy.

Brandon Lewis

Up to September 2015, over 128,000 homes had been purchased with assistance of Help to Buy Equity and Mortgage Guarantee Loans.

Since 2010/11, over 53,000 thousand tenants have purchased their homes through Right to Buy (and preserved Right to Buy for housing association tenants). The voluntary scheme extending to housing associations will give 1.3 million more families the opportunity to do this.

The Department publishes statistics on Help to Buy and Right to Buy at:
