TWO couples have used lockdown to their advantage and saved enough to buy new homes.
For Meg, 24 and Lewis, 26, 2020 was to be all about travelling but, when the pandemic hit, their plans changed.
Meanwhile, Hannah Edwards, 23, and Ryan Roberts, 23, found themselves living apart with their parents after just one year of dating.
Little did each couple know, back in March 2020, that brand new homes would be on the cards.
2020 was the year travel stopped, shops shut, and weddings and events were put on hold.
With nothing to do and nowhere to spend money, lockdown enabled many buyers to save a lot faster than normal.
