The Edinburgh and Lothians Property Group (ELPG) explained to My First Home website that more is needed to be done to assist first time buyers to take their first step on the property ladder.

The website, which was designed to assist home buyers, reported the fact that the ELPG believes that although house prices are rising and mortgage lending is on the up in Scotland, first time buyers are still being hindered when it comes to being able to finance their first property purchase.

Scott Brown, estate agency partner at ELPG member firm Warners, told My First Home: “We’re seeing some good recovery in the property market at the moment, with house prices rising and more properties being sold every month.”
