First time buyer help 'not enough' - Hooper
First-time buyer schemes in the Isle of Man have been branded inadequate by a Ramsey MHK.
Lawrie Hooper made the point during a motion from Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer in Tynwald this week.
This amended the Shared Equity Purchase Assistance (First Home Fixed) Scheme, increasing income eligibility criteria by £5,000 for each class of household, up to a maximum household income of £50,000 for a family with children.
Mr Hooper said what was on offer was not good enough:
Officers and partner agencies praised following immigration fraud conviction
Work to improve mooring at Ferry Terminal in Liverpool scheduled for next week
Manx Care reports major drop in dental waiting lists
Police 'disappointed' to find more than half of vehicles with defects in latest winter checks
