Mortgage & Property Advice Centre for First Time Home Buyers

First time buyer news officially launched

28-Jul-2005

FirstRungNow has officially launched its news and comment service to provide aspiring first time buyers with the information they need to find a property.

As property prices remain high, following months of record growth in the property industry, first time buyers need all the help they can to get onto the first rung of the property ladder, and the new service can give them a head start.

By providing aspiring homeowners with relevant information on new schemes to help them onto the property ladder – such as advice on joint ownership schemes and affordable housing developments across the country – the news service can give first time buyers the boost they need to find the property they are looking for.

It can also help them when finding a mortgage, as well as advising on alternative options to get their foot on the first rung of the ladder, for example by buying to let elsewhere or purchasing a house-boat.

The service also provides readers with an interactive experience, allowing them to air their views or ask questions through FirstRungNow's Forum.

Director of FirstRungNow, Helen Adams, explained the motive behind the new service: "Now, with so much going on to help first timers, we wanted to help them by bringing them more current news."

She added: "Our site has genuinely helped people move on."
