Housing measures in the Budget
The House of Commons Library’s 29 October briefing summarises the Budget presented on 28 October. It says additional programme funding is intended to deliver around 10,000 homes in England, prioritising social rent, particularly council housing.[1]
The briefing also describes a First Time Buyer ISA planned from April 2029, a Your First Home equity-loan initiative for new-build purchases, and £432 million for rough-sleeping support across 2027/28 and 2028/29.[1]
Why it matters
Funding announcements and delivery are separate milestones. Buyers should check scheme-specific eligibility and implementation details before assuming they qualify for support.
