Buying your first home is a huge milestone for many people, especially as it has become so much more difficult in recent years due to soaring house prices and sky-high interest rates.
One family have shared their delight after managing to get on the property ladder sooner than expected thanks to a helpful mortgage scheme. Juvraj Singh, 40, his wife, 39, and their two children aged eight and five, moved from Dubai to Manchester in the search for their forever family home.
The first-time buyers now live happily in their 'dream' new-build four-bed townhouse on the edge of Manchester city centre in Northenden - a suburb that is favoured by families as a more affordable alternative to Didsbury or Chorlton.
