Scottish Government Launches First Homes Fund for First-Time Buyers
The Scottish government has officially launched its First Homes Fund, a scheme designed to support first-time buyers in Scotland. The initiative offers a £10,000 contribution towards a deposit for eligible buyers purchasing a property valued up to £300,000.
According to the Scottish government, the scheme could support more than 2,000 households. The First Homes Fund is open to first-time buyers looking to purchase any property within the specified price limit.
For letting agents and inventory clerks, the introduction of this scheme may influence demand in the Scottish property market, particularly in the first-time buyer segment. The fund could potentially increase activity in property transactions involving homes priced up to £300,000.
