🏡 You may have heard about the Government's proposed new "Your First Home Scheme" scheme for first-time buyers.

While we're still waiting for the full details, early announcements suggest eligible first time buyers could potentially purchase a new-build home with a deposit as low as 2.5%, supported by a government-backed equity loan.

Here at Ison Harrison we have a specialist New Build Property Team who will be able to assist buyers using the scheme. The full details are expected in next month's Budget, so it's a case of watch this space for now.

Employment Tribunal time limits are changing ⏰

From 1 October 2026, the time limit for bringing most Employment Tribunal claims will increase from three months to six months.

That gives employees more time to bring a claim, so it’s even more important for employers to keep clear records and follow proper processes from the start.

Practical steps include:
✅ keeping accurate notes of meetings and decisions
✅ making sure managers understand fair process
✅ reviewing policies before issues arise
✅ taking advice early where needed

If you’re unsure what this means for your business, our Employment team can help.

For Employment Law help, please contact our New Enquiries Team on 0800 389 3030 or email [email protected]. They will take your initial details and arrange for the appropriate member of our Employment team to contact you.

Myth Buster!

“Once my offer is accepted, the property is mine.”

Myth!

Here’s the reality…

Having your offer accepted is an exciting milestone, but it doesn’t mean you legally own the property.

In England and Wales, the transaction generally doesn’t become legally binding until contracts are exchanged.

Before exchange, there’s still important work to complete, which can include property searches, finalising mortgage arrangements and agreeing and signing the contract.

Until exchange, either the buyer or seller can generally withdraw from the transaction.

Once contracts are exchanged, both parties are legally committed to the sale. Completion then follows, when ownership formally transfers to the buyer.

“Who decides where the children live after separation?”

When parents separate, there isn’t an automatic rule about where their children should live.

Where possible, parents can agree arrangements between themselves, including where the children will live and how much time they’ll spend with each parent.

If an agreement can’t be reached, options such as mediation may help. In some cases, an application to the Family Court may be necessary.

If the court becomes involved, the welfare of the child is its paramount consideration when deciding what arrangements should be made.

Every family is different, which is why getting advice tailored to your circumstances can be important.

Our Family Law team can help you understand your options and work towards arrangements that put your children first.
