..the thing with the Help to Buy scheme is that it is..(or was/it may have changed now..)..only applicable to brand new houses, which tend to be priced higher than an equivalent non new house anyway...probably priced higher by around the same percentage as the government's help with it...as I say, the new house bit could have changed now though, the scheme may be better and good for young people....


..the silly thing as well with there being a different rate for different age ranges is that government employees themselves are paid for the job they do equivalently to someone in a different sector doing the same job, regardless of age...a higher salary for a more experienced person is already covered in job grade and salary bandings etc...
