What is the review about?
The Panel will review proposals of the Minister for Treasury and Resources for a six-month trial scheme whereby nearly £3 million will be made available for loans to assist eligible homebuyers with the deposit for a property purchase. The scheme is designed to assist those facing the greatest difficulties in getting on the housing ladder and the eligibility criteria will relate to income, first-time buyer status, the type of property and liquid assets held by the applicant.
