Brick to the Future: Property Investment Show

Season 5: Episode 5 - How the Home Guarantee Scheme is shaping the property market

OpenCorp Season 5 Episode 5

In this episode of Brick to the Future, hosts Allister Lewison and Michael 'Boz' Beresford dive deep into the Home Guarantee Scheme, a government initiative aimed at helping first home buyers enter the property market. While investors can’t use the scheme directly, the ripple effects could significantly influence investment opportunities, especially at the affordable end of the market.

They unpack how changes to income and price caps, coupled with surging population growth, are likely to turbocharge demand, push up entry-level prices, and spark a bottom-up market recovery. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, this conversation breaks down what’s happening, why it matters, and how to position yourself for growth.

Key discussion points:

  • What the Home Guarantee Scheme is, and isn't
  • Policy updates that change the game
  • Flow-on effects for investors
  • Population growth vs. housing supply
  • Investor mindset and timing

Key takeaway: 

Even though the Home Guarantee Scheme isn’t designed for investors, it’s one of the most investor-friendly policy shifts in years, because it fuels demand, compresses supply, and accelerates market confidence.

Now is the window to act before prices start moving from the bottom up.
