As the demand for low deposit loans increases George Osborne gives the bank of England power to cap risky mortgage lending.
The current rate of house price inflation is not a major concern for the Bank of England as a property recovery was expected.
Figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show the price of homes for first time buyers have increased by 10.5% in the last year.
House prices were up 6.8% in January since a year earlier after a lost decade of building leaves the UK with a significant shortfall in homes.
The rate of house building has boosted UK construction but will still be short of the 240,000 homes needed each year.
The construction activity index rose more than expected helped by a surge in house building in the UK.
The government claims the number of new homes built in England for the three months to June this year is 6% higher.
