Stephen Noakes, mortgage director, Halifax, comments:
"Our commitment to NewBuy has been clear since the scheme launched, we are pleased that we are able to extend the scheme to home movers looking to part exchange their property as they move up the ladder, whilst also helping first time buyers too."
Whilst the majority (77%) of applications have come from first time buyers, the remainder have been received from home movers. The South East accounts for just under a third of the applications but properties have been purchased in each region across England.
