Buying a property can often usher in a fresh start for a lot of people, giving them a space they can call their own.
In our Where I Live series, the ECHO will explore one house from across the region each week, with the owner giving us an insight into how they've made their house a home. Emma McKevitt, 34, got the keys to her Aigburth apartment in March 2020, days before the first Covid-19 lockdown and just months after losing both of her parents.
She told the ECHO: "I was living in my family home and taking care of my mum after my dad passed. I have a twin sister and two brothers, we decided to sell the family home after we lost my mum because it felt too sad to be there."
