House prices across Merseyside are rocketing and it's never been more difficult for young people to get on the property ladder. Although for some, it's all about being in the right place at the right time.
In our new series, Where I Live, the ECHO will explore one house from across the region each week, with the owner giving us an insight into the buying process, how they managed to get on the property ladder, and how they plan to make it their own in a cost of living crisis.
For Alex and Emily, timing was on their side. They got on the ladder in 2017, when prices were relatively reasonable. They went on to sell the doer upper for substantially more than they paid, leaving them with a lot of equity to put down on their brooding Victorian villa in Mossley Hill.
