The FHF offers first-time buyers in Scotland an interest free loan of up to 25,000 for their deposit. The pilot of the FHF has been a huge success and most of our first-time buyer clients have utilised the scheme. We are glad to hear that the Scottish Government intend to reopen the applications again early 2021 for home purchaes due to complete during the 2021/22 financial year.
We have been asked by many clients if these changes will cover their transactions. In layman's terms the 'effective date' for a standard house sale/purchase is the date of settlement/entry that is the date the purchase price is paid by the buyer in exchange for your keys / the signed Disposition (document transferring title).

Brilliant service provided by Emily Young, Lauren Daly, and the whole of the FDL team. Used FDL as recommended by my financial advisor for my first house purchase. Emily and Lauren were excellent at answering my queries about the various properties and the homebuying process in general. Quick, informative updates throughout the conveyancing made the process anxiety-free, simple, and allowed me to enjoy my first house purchase. The various office staff were speedy at directing me to the right folk, always available, and helpful to the end.
Would highly, highly recommend FDL for anyone looking for

A refreshing change to find lawyers where you are more than just a fee note.
From initial chat to taking detailed instruction and execution of the deal the service and professionalism was first class.
Regular updates reduced anxiety and they got things done quicker than expected inspite of Covid restrictions.
Thanks for all your hard work and personal service. No hesitation in recommending Fords Daly Legal

Used Fords Daly Legal to purchase a property a few months back, the service was brilliant, eased any concerns I had, explained everything clearly, called back when promised and felt as though they went the extra mile for me. Professional and nice staff when popping into the office. Can't recommend them enough. Thanks again and I will be back and certainly will recommend them to family and friends.

We have recently used Fords Daly Legal to sell our home. From our first initial meeting, right through until our final signing and concluding of missives the entire team has been professional, competent and compassionate. Fiona, Lauren, Emily and Brooke who have all worked with us to complete the process have been efficient and thorough from the word go, and at times going above and beyond at what has been a stressful time. We will keenly recommend them to our families, friends and even strangers and thank them wholeheartedly for all of their hard work.

I have used FDL for over 7yrs now and highly recommend then for all your legal and estate agency requirements. I just wouldn't look any further...Lauren, Fiona and all the team are so friendly and helpful and always keep you informed with all steps as they happen to keep your mind at peace. We have had 7 different transactions this year alone and could just not have done it without them, from easy settlements, to ones involving land registry updates, they just do it all... great team, Thank YOU xx
