Course description

It isn’t easy getting on the property ladder- we have seen the end of the Government Home Equity Loans (apart from redeeming them) for now but there are many other schemes available.


Apart from what may be available on the market generally, or from the Government, there is that old standby, ‘bank of mum and dad’ which is itself not free of potential problems. For the conveyancer there are many pitfalls to be aware of and it is timely to look at these in more detail.


Join expert speaker Paul Tobias for this live and interactive update which will explore a range of topics including shared ownership schemes, SDLT relief for first time buyers, the Government First Homes Initiative, UK finance conditions and mortgagee attitudes to gifted deposits, and much more.
