A new report by the Confederation of British Industry has urged the government to do more to stimulate the UK property market.
By introducing new measures, the CBI believes this will not only work to boost the economy but will also enable first time buyers to get onto the property ladder.
In the first 3 months of 2011 only 36,200 first time buyers were able to secure a mortgage. And this is a massive drop from 2001 where 167,400 managed to get a mortgage.
So what do they propose?
In their report, the CBI has indicated the following tactics to secure funding:
Revitalise the Mortgage Indemnity Guarantee – this will reduce the risk of higher loan to value mortgages
Allow property owners to access savings from their pension schemes through a loan-back scheme
In addition, the CBI wants George Osborne to use his annual statement to Parliament on the 29th November to revive the property market.
