A property ownership budget

“A Budget for people who aspire to own their own homes” that's how George described it, and a boost for the housing market is never usually a bad thing for us landlords.

The only downside is if we see a fall in rental demand because of a mass exodus from the rental sector with all these new 'FTB's' who might benefit from the 3.5 billion Help to Buy Scheme.

Personally I think any slight fall in rents will be more than compensated by a  reactivated property sales market.
