Property buyers and homeowners desperate for good news on the housing and mortgage front were sorely disappointed by Chancellor Alistair Darling’s 2008 Budget speech.
According to industry experts the proposed measures offer little respite for property buyers struggling to enter the market or meet the rising cost of servicing mortgage debt.
Consumers are increasingly feeling the pinch from the global credit crunch, following an end to cheap credit and rises in household mortgage repayments, food, fuel and council tax costs.
Despite all these challenges, experts believe that government is once again dodging its responsibilities and trying to hide inaction through vague promises.
The credit crunch has resulted in fewer lenders that are prepared to offer mortgages to aspiring property buyers. Houses that are affordable for first-time property buyers are being snatched up by property investors, who might soon benefit from a lower tax burden by cashing in on the inability of first-time buyers to buy property.
Furthermore, analysts say that very few individuals will benefit from new government legislation allowing shared ownership property buyers to pay stamp duty only when they own 80 percent of the equity.
It seems the general consensus is that government has once again failed to provide what was most called for – financial relief for hard-pressed homeowners, in particular first-time property buyers.
