A Londoner has spilled the beans on how he managed to buy his first home in the city with his partner at the age of 30, after saving up for close to half of his life.
Jordon Thompson, now 31, and his partner Cormac O'Donnell, 30, became homeowners in 2020 when they bought a brand new flat in Hounslow .
The pair had to pull together £22,500 between them for their 5 per cent deposit, and used the government's Help to Buy scheme to take the edge off the amount of cash they needed.
