Support for First Time Buyers key election ask

The Scottish Government is encouraging First Time Buyers (FTBs) to apply for the First Homes Fund which offers a £10,000 contribution towards a deposit to buy a property of any value of up to £300,000.

HFS Chief Executive Jane Wood said:

“Supporting FTBs is essential, not only in helping to address Scotland’s existing housing need, with 693,000 households affected, but also in stimulating wider socio-economic growth across the country by unlocking investment confidence across the sector, particularly in areas where development viability can be more marginal and help increasing delivery of housing of all tenures where it is needed most.”
