Help-to-buy delays still blocking property sales and remortgages

Households fear being thousands of pounds out of pocket as problems beset Homes England administrator

Homeowners who used the government's help-to-buy loan scheme to buy a property are still reporting delays in getting hold of vital paperwork, weeks after the agency that runs the programme said it was working to put things right.

Borrowers have reported that sales have been put at risk and remortgages delayed by problems at Homes England, resulting in them facing higher losses.
