英国政府的一份审计报告发现，前首相乔治·奥斯本推出的Help-to-Buy计划为英国创造了250亿英镑的社会价值1。该计划自推出以来已帮助超过38.7万人购房，其中超过32.8万人为首次购房者1。近半参与者表示，如果没有这一计划，他们将无法购房1。
这份报告驳斥了外界对该计划成本高昂的批评1。Help-to-Buy计划分为两个版本，首个版本在2013年由奥斯本宣布，第二版本于2021年推出，两个版本均适用于价值不超过60万英镑的房产1。
尽管报告为该计划辩护，但关于是否重启类似措施仍存在政策分歧。住房大臣马修·彭尼库克推动工党重启这类计划的努力遭到财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯的反对1。里夫斯主张将重点放在规划改革和增加住房供应上，而非补贴购房者1。工党方面已承诺在本届议会期间建设150万套新房1。
A government audit has concluded that former Prime Minister George Osborne's Help-to-Buy initiative generated £25 billion in social value for the United Kingdom in the last financial year 1. The scheme supported more than 387,000 people in purchasing homes, of which over 328,000 were first-time buyers 1. Nearly half of the program's customers stated they would have been unable to purchase property without this assistance 1.
The Help-to-Buy scheme was first introduced by Osborne in 2013, with a second version launched in 2021 1. Both iterations applied to properties valued at no more than £600,000 1. Despite the positive findings of the audit, which refute criticisms that the program was prohibitively expensive, efforts by Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook to push the Labour government to restart a similar scheme have faced opposition from Chancellor Rachel Reeves 1. Reeves has prioritized planning reform and increasing housing supply over subsidizing homebuyers, and the Labour party has committed to building 1.5 million new homes during this parliamentary term 1.
