For many years, it has been notoriously difficult for first-time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder. The recent news regarding mortgage repayments becoming even more costly could make life even more difficult.
Sometimes, looking in the right place at the right time is the key for first-time homebuyers. That is one way Georgia Urmson managed to buy her first home, in Runcorn, Cheshire, with her partner at just 22..

But even then, she wasn’t aware of an unlikely family connection which would make her first home all the more special.
