Housing minister Dave Jones, pictured, said his department was exploring such an initiative with Treasury and Resources.
It follows following a successful Budget amendment from Deputy Heidi Soulsby for a collaborative report focused on a potential 'young buyer' scheme.
'Further to Deputy Soulsby's Budget amendment, Housing and the Treasury and Resources Department are currently exploring the benefits of a scheme that would help first-time buyers afford a deposit and will report to the States in the first half of next year,' he said.
