With real estate prices and interest rates being as high as they are, UK officials have looked to come up with solutions in an effort to assist first time homebuyers get a new home. As real estate expert Nick Millican explains, in a recent announcement, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt introduced a new policy.

In this new policy, the government will lift the 450,000 pound limit on a buyer’s first property. This new policy will likely enable many prospective buyers to more easily come up with the down payment to secure a purchase in the near future. As of today, Nick Millican says, anyone between the ages of 18 and 39 can open up a LISA account in order to save up to 4,000 per year towards a down payment on a home. 

They can also get up to an additional 1,000 pound bonus each year as well. With this amount of savings, prospective homebuyers are able to withdraw the funds from the account and use towards a down payment without any penalties or tax liabilities. According to Nick Millican, this account withdrawal can be used to save up for a home that is valued at 450,000 pounds or less in London. 

He says that while the LISA account has helped many homeowners save up money for a home, it is much more difficult and beneficial in the city of London. According to real estate experts, the average home in London is 536,000 pounds and as a result, many have urged the government to increase the value to over the current 450,000 pound limit. And is all led by Nick Millican.
