Prospering the Warrington way

摘要

Eight years ago, in the early days of austerity, when there was hope it might be a temporary phenomenon, Warrington BC launched a mortgage scheme. The scheme, launched in 2011/12, reduced the average age of first-time buyers by three years and helped 200 people. Deputy chief executive of the council, Lynton Green, believes Warrington's scheme led to the Government's own version, Help to Buy.
