Help to buy will it stay?

We have just sold our house so going to rent until we find something we like. However we will need to take a 95% mortgage so will be taking advantage of help to buy. I am just concerned for how long it will be on for?

Does anyone know if its going to end or if at least 95% mortgage will remain?

Thank you

    It is.

    Thrug is talking about MG, which is 90% to 95% mortgages.
