WHY MORE FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS ARE WAITING UNTIL THEIR THIRTIES…

Did you know that the average age of a first-time buyer in the UK is currently 33?

Rising house prices and bigger deposit requirements mean many people are stepping onto the property ladder later in life than previous generations.

But this isn’t all bad news. Being a little older often means that you’ve had more time to build your income, improve your credit score, and save a larger deposit, which can all help you secure a better mortgage deal.

Whether you are 25 and just starting to save or 35 and ready to buy, having a clear plan makes all the difference.

Get in touch today and we can help you understand how much you really need to save, help you explore 5% to 20% deposit options, and find a mortgage deal that fits your goals.

Getting on the property ladder may take longer these days but with the right advice, it’s absolutely within reach.

WHO CAN YOU TRUST? DON’T LET DOUBT GET IN THE WAY…

The worst thing for some people isn’t snakes or going to the dentist, it’s the idea of applying for protection insurance. This is because distrust and uncertainty can stop people from protecting themselves and their family.

A recent survey revealed that 11% of people who don’t have protection avoid it all together because they don’t trust insurance providers, and another 11% simply don’t know who to turn to for advice.

Not all providers are out to trick you, so don’t let doubt be the reason your future goes unprotected.

Turn to us for advice and we can help you find insurance providers who want to offer you protection plans that are right for you.
