Respondent: Home Builders Federation Ltd
The economic down turn happened between 2008 and 2013 so it is incorrect to refer to it as being over recent years. In fact in recent years the number of homes in Wales has been on the increase particularly since the introduction of Help to Buy Wales in 2014, this scheme is funded until at least 2021 so there is no current reason why this should not continue to support the purchase of new homes of which currently 78% are by first time buyers.

The UK has not been in recession since 2013. The Review report should reflect this and look to the other reasons (many of which are identified in full) why the plan has not delivered. Help to buy should be referred to in this section.
