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:
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
Port St Mary Commissioners discuss civic amenity site changes
Ramsey residents 'shocked' at Looneys closure announcement
King Gaming's license suspended amidst criminal investigation
Hopes new unit will reduce amount of time patients spend in hospital
