Thousands of households who earn more than £100,000 a year are using the government’s Help to Buy scheme to purchase a house, leading to calls for the programme to be reformed.
Since the scheme was introduced in March 2013, figures show that 6,717 households with an income of more than £100,000 have used it.
This accounts for 4% of the 169,102 properties that have been sold under Help to Buy, which was intended to get more people on the housing ladder.
