Episode one - Let's Be Real About The Bank of Mum and Dad
Welcome to Make Your Move's very first episode! To kick off the show, we start where movers start - at the beginning. It's clear that first time buyers are struggling to start the property ladder climb. Because of this, many are using the bank of mum and dad for their deposits, and we'll walk you through your options when it comes to parental support. BUT, if you don't have access to that, we have some great options for you too.
Make Your Move is the property comparison site reallymoving's audio baby, helping buyers on their moving journey. If you're on the go and don't have the time to read up on homebuying, it's perfect for you!
