HTB really just needs to be scrapped all together, it is purely for the benefit of developers not ordinary punters.

Don't forget the normal people that makes a living in construction job.

+1 as young expats who have worked, saved a deposit, paid tax and paid thousands to the govt for the privilege of a visa, Help to Buy was the only way for us to get banks to even consider giving us a mortgage (the only other way being to save for years to afford at least 85% LTV).
