Your view: PM brings forward Help To Buy scheme

State-backed mortgages to help increase home ownership will be introduced next week - three months earlier than planned, David Cameron has confirmed.

We asked ITV News' Facebook followers what they thought of the move and here is a few of their views:

5% is still a lot though. We have a lot of new builds being built near us and for a home that would suit our needs, we'd still need a large deposit. Surely mortgages should be based on what you can afford to pay back.

– Carly Michelle Jolley

A good idea if helps us all who are in private renting where it is expensive.

– Ann Faramus

Dodgy ground. More people with mortgages that if interest rates shot up suddenly couldn't afford to meet monthly payments.

– Adam Radlett
