Scheme should help everyone

CHARLOTTE MORSE has been trying to save for a home since she was 18.

But the 25-year-old is still stuck in privately rented accommodation along with her daughter Evie, two (pictured), and partner Benji Gaynor, 30.

She will not benefit from the Government’s Right to Buy scheme and will instead be left trying to scrape together the funds to buy a home.

Charlotte, a customer service assistant for a building society, says: ‘All of my friends are in privately rented accommodation. For us, it is impossible trying to get on the property ladder.

‘This Right to Buy scheme is great for the people it might help, but unfortunately there are many more of us who won’t benefit at all.’

Charlotte, from Coventry, planned to live with her parents until she could afford a house of her own.

But after falling pregnant she needed the space for her family to grow.

She says: ‘Having children changes everything. I never wanted to rent a home but I didn’t have a choice in the end.’
