Higher house prices to earnings, stricter mortgage criteria and a lack of suitable property have added to the struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, a record number of transactions have been recorded in the first time buyer market. These have been mostly supported by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertysurveying.co.uk\/newsletter\/?page_id=20041\">Bank of Mum and Dad<\/a> as well as government help to buy schemes. The government has been committed to improving access to the housing ladder and has gone some way to increasing the supply of new and affordable homes.<\/p>\n<p>The government is also aware of the negative effect of a slower, wider housing market on the general economy and is looking proactively at ways to inject new homes, at all levels, into the system.
