Saving To Buy Your First Home

In this episode, Kia Commodore continues exploring one of A Little Bit Richer’s most important topics – buying your first home. It’s an extremely important milestone. But it’s also an extremely expensive one. So in this episode Kia is joined by Hazel Johnston from Legal & General. Hazel began as a mortgage adviser and now helps other advisers better support homebuyers. Kia and Hazel talk about how to save for a house deposit. They chat through how much you might need to save, how to save it, and the ins and outs of mortgages. They also uncover the hidden costs of house buying and help you budget for actually living in your new home.
