Are you 100% sure? I asked my friend this today and they said they are only checking for a valid travel card as it's happened to them before
e.g if you have a zone 1-2 travel card and you get stopped in brixton it flashes green on their gadget, however if they check it and you're in zone 3 it will still flash green but because you're out of your travel card zones you'l get fined

Nar you just tell them that you pay the difference at the other end.

It wasn’t me, it’s my sister and her boyfriend
I know exactly where you are coming from though, I’m in 2 minds about it all. This 40% off newbuilds for first time buyers just artificially inflates prices because more people are now wrestling for those flats… at the same time, the mortgage is half the price of the rent on their current 1 bed in Brixton so it’s a result for them. It’s a tricky situation. They will both be on good money in the next few years so will be able to remortgage to cover the equity loan quite easily

exactly. however, if I was in their situation and had the means I would definitely do it… but agree that your tactic would be wiser!

Thanks for the info lads.
Swede, are you not worried about the potential for negative equity on a new build or the Government loan element being used as a cash-cow? Was looking to borrow less but have a standard loan, did you consider this?

Ah sorry missed that. Yeah, I think the policy is madness and essentially funnels public money to house builders.
Aside from that though, estate agent friends say the '600k' flats in particular are tricky to value and may dip on resale as there won't be a pool of people with the 40% loan boost available to buy them on the usual market.
In an ideal world I think buying for less on the market as a no chain purchaser (I doubt we could get a 600k mortgage!) is less risky.
