Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 24 March 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government
(1) on what date she expects the Homebuy Direct scheme to launch; and how many expressions of interest have been received from potential purchasers;
(2) how much has been spent on the HomeBuy Direct scheme to date;
(3) how many people have applied for assistance via the HomeBuy Direct scheme; how many applications have been granted; and what the average level of support has been.
The HomeBuy Direct scheme is already operating and the first buyers are expected to purchase properties over the next few weeks. No expenditure will be incurred until this happens.
The Homes and Communities Agency does not collect data on the number of applications for—or expressions of interest in—the scheme (data are collected at the point of completion). However, a number of participating developers are reporting high levels of pre-registrations for their HomeBuy Direct properties.
