Launch

Since its launch in January 2014 it has helped more than 14,000 households to become homeowners.

Confirming the extension of the scheme, Jayne Bryant said: “Help to Buy Wales has been a cornerstone of our housing strategy, supporting thousands of people to achieve their dreams of becoming homeowners.

“While the previous UK Government ended Help to Buy in England in 2023, Wales has continued to offer this vital support and this extension reaffirms our commitment to helping more people secure a home.

“We will continue to work closely with our partners to ensure the scheme meets the needs of homebuyers and supports the housing market."
