Young first-time buyers in England could buy a house at 20% below the market rate if the Conservatives are re-elected, David Cameron has pledged.
The Conservative leader said the party would build 100,000 new homes, reserved for those under 40 buying their first home.
They would be exempt from some taxes and built on brownfield land already identified for development, he said.
He was speaking as the party prepares for its annual conference this weekend.
Conservative politicians and activists will gather in Birmingham from Sunday for what is the final conference before next May's general election.
'Locked out'Unveiling the pledge - an extension of the Help to Buy mortgage scheme - Mr Cameron said the Conservatives wanted more young people to "achieve the dream" of owning their own home.
"I don't want to see young people locked out of home ownership," he said.
"We've already started to tackle the problem with Help to Buy mortgages - and these new plans will help tens of thousands more people to buy their first home."
The starter homes plan would only apply to England, whereas Help to Buy is UK-wide.
That scheme sees the government offering a 20% equity loan to buyers of newly-built properties.
'Raft of taxes'Under the new proposals, the homes would be built on brownfield land which was no longer needed for industrial or commercial use.
Savings from constructing the dwellings on such land would be passed on to the buyers, the Conservatives said.
Public sector land would also be used to deliver the pledge.
The homes would be exempt "from a raft of taxes", Mr Cameron said, such as the community infrastructure levy and a requirement to build social housing as part of any development.
Some building regulations - like the zero carbon homes standard - would also not apply to the new units.
