The question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the Scottish National Party 2026 manifesto commitment to “introduce a package of measures to help young people build a home and make it easier to remain in their communities”, what the measures will be when it plans to introduce them.
The answer
As set out in the Manifesto, in this parliament we will introduce measures to remove financial barriers, such as land transfer fees for people under the age of 30 for the purpose of building a single domestic housing unit, and targeted support of £10,000 for households to construct a single unit, specifically for a primary resident, not for rental.This will initially be concentrated on our highland and island communities but will remain open to other areas.
