Grants for second-time new-home buyers
Mitchell asks whether buyers moving to a second new house still qualify for a grant. Barrett says they do not qualify for the £1,000 grant, noting that they may sell their former home at a profit and that repeat grants were not always available under the previous scheme.
What happened to the grants that were paid before for a second-time purchase of a new house?

The Deputy was referring to grants for the purchase of an existing house, in other words, what is known as a resale.

I am talking about a person who buys a new house for the second time, a person who bought one house, whose family has got bigger and who purchases a new house which is bigger. What has happened to this grant?

Does the Deputy want me to answer the question? He will not qualify for the £1,000 but he has the opportunity of selling his house at a good profit if he is moving to a better dwelling.

A man moving from one house to another, having got a grant for the first house, did not always qualify for a grant for the second house.
