House prices

Home buyers in Scotland will pay new tax rates when buying a property from today, which will see 50% of buyers pay nothing at all, according to the Scottish Government.

If you're a wannabe first-time buyer aged 16 or over, from this Autumn the Government will give you a cash boost towards buying your first home if you save into a new type of ISA, it was announced in today's Budget.

The Prime Minister has today set out plans for a scheme offering 100,000 first-time buyers new homes with a 20% discount as part of a move to get more people on to the property ladder.

A retired MoneySaver has helped four of her neighbours who were on the wrong council tax band each get a £5,000 rebate from the council and lower their bills forever.

Low interest rates mean fewer homeowners are struggling to keep up with their mortgage repayments, according to Council of Mortgage Lenders figures released today.

Many homeowners paying a standard variable mortgage rate (SVR) with a decent credit score and 10%+ equity, can ditch their mortgage and save by getting a new one.
