George Osborne revealed there would be a clamp down on the practice of buying properties through companies.  


Ahead of today’s Budget, the Chancellor announced that the Help to Buy equity loan scheme will be extended to 2020.
  


It has been confirmed that the Government will build a garden city in Ebbsfleet in Kent, creating 15,000 new homes.  


Following the awful storms and flooding this winter, the Chancellor pledged £340 million towards building and maintaining Britain’s flood defences and repairing potholes.
