Skipton’s Key To Your First Home event rolls into Leeds

With a focus on first-time buyers, Skipton will also be taking its innovative Keys To Your First Home event to Leeds,  following its “massive success” in London earlier this year.

Panellists include Iona Bain, writer of The Grown Up Money Blog, and TV presenters and sibling property developers Scarlette and Stuart Douglas.

Harrison added: “It’s so important to us that we do what we can to help the younger people entering the property market. From being the first financial services provider to offer the Cash Lifetime ISA, right through to delivering quirky events that we know first-time buyers want to attend – and, of course, offering competitive mortgage products too.

“As a building society, this is our purpose and something we work hard to deliver no matter what the markets throw in the way.”
