The future of the mortgage market | Home ownership for young adults

House prices have increased significantly over the last 20 years, resulting in increased barriers to home ownership for young adults and a falling proportion of young adults earning their own home.

• How effective are schemes such as Help to Buy and the Lifetime ISA in helping young people get on the property ladder? 
• Could increased lending be offered without significant risk? 
• Will open banking allow better assessments of affordability and widen the mortgage market to sensible spenders?
• Are we preventing young adults from having the opportunity for home ownership because of the mistakes that past generations have made?
