Government's current housing support schemes don't offer enough support to first-time buyers.
That's the view of an estate agent discussing the challenges those looking for their first homes face, particularly given the recent rise in the cost of living.
Plans to tackle housing issues on the Island were recently published, including providing additional support for first-time buyers.
Manx Move's Graham Wilson says the current assistance doesn't go far enough:
More than 3,000 jobs added to economy since September 2021
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
