First time house buying

Tweet

Anyone here a first time house buyer?My wife and I are looking at buying one, and it's next to impossible!Now we're looking into shared ownership (now known as new build home buy), but there's limited properties available. Also looking into Open market homebuy, here you are given two equity loans of 12.5% each, so your mortgage is for only 75% the cost of the house. But it still might not be affordable!Has anyone had similar experience? Or does anyone have any advice to share?If you'd like to know more about shared ownership or open market homebuy, just ask the question as I've got a load of research on my PC!
