A scheme to give home buyers with smaller deposits a helping hand to buy a new-build property is set to hit a milestone of 1,500 reservations this weekend, six months after its launch.

The figures were released by the Home Builders Federation (HBF), as those involved in the NewBuy Guarantee scheme predicted activity will pick up further as the autumn selling season gathers pace.
