Daughters helped more than sons
The Scotsman has reported that parents are far more likely to help their daughters get onto the property ladder.
Daughters receive an average of £7,240 towards getting on to the property ladder, while sons get just £4,200. Four times as many girls as boys also received £20,000 from their mother and father ... Parental bias towards helping girls get on to the property ladder does not stop with financial assistance, with 31 per cent of people insisting on approving the area their daughter wanted to buy in, compared with fewer than two out of ten parents of sons.
