A young couple from Liverpool are planning to move into their first home together by Christmas after defying their friends and family who laughed at their grand plans.
Amy Wright, 24, and David Lavery, 25, ignored their loved ones' advice in their pursuit of buying their first house together by the end of the year in what has been a turbulent period in the property market.
After being disillusioned with their attempts to purchase a new build, Amy and David's attention turned to older properties in need of some tender loving care in their hunt for their dream abode.
