Reckon everyone from Tibb should just chip in and pay my deposit tbh...
In all seriousness though; every one of my friends my age who now owns property has had help to do so. Money left by grandparents, or have been able to stay with family while they save, etc. For us on the other hand... My parents sold the family home when they divorced 12 years ago, my mum drank her half of the money and then died leaving nothing (well no, that's not fair there was some money and I paid off student debts, so it's now gone) and my dad moved into a one bed flat so that he could, as far as I can tell, spend the majority of his half on guitars and gadgets. My wife's family... Well... We lived 15 minutes walk from them for a year and a half and then literally moved countries to be away from it ![]() Not that I'm even saying everyone is entitled to family help. Just that most young families who want to buy, these days, need at least a little. Maybe I could adopt a grannie or something. A really old and rich one and then I could inherit her cash. If she was super old I'd probably only need to have sex with her two, maybe three times... |

I recently tried to explain to a friend why some people end up being homeless. If they don't have that back up system of a generous family and they fall on hard times (most people are only two pay checks away from becoming bankrupt) then its easy to become homeless. When our children buy we totally expect to help them out and we will do that because we can but we can only do that because we have inheritance savings ourselves.

Lets hope your friends have a fixed rate mortgage and not a standard variable rate. You should ask them and warn them because if they are on an SVRM, when the bubble bursts they will inevitably will be faced with unsustainable mortgage re-payments for a house with negative equity.
