A small two-bed home is now often seen as a smarter first step than the traditional one-bed flat. Today’s first-time buyers are older, more informed and thinking further ahead, with space, gardens and flexibility climbing higher up the wish list.
Many landlords still do not fully understand what is coming, there is a real risk that people will be caught out, unprepared, and facing problems that could have been avoided with the right guidance.
For today’s buyers, the garden is no longer something they will think about later. It is often one of the very first things they judge when viewing a home.
First-time buyers are returning to the market as mortgage rates ease and confidence grows. With lenders competing and affordability improving, this year is shaping up to be a promising time to step onto the property ladder.
