The Government will announce initiatives designed to cool the property market and help first home buyers. (First published February 2, 2021)
It’s no mean feat to buy your first home in the current super-hot market, but it can be done. Ryan and Sinead Fisher are proof – and they managed it without turning to the “bank of mum and dad”. When the Fishers, who were in their early 20s at the time, first decided they wanted to buy their own home by the time they were 30, they realised they would have to make a few sacrifices to achieve that dream. Over the next few years, they did just that in order to, first, save the deposit they needed and then find and secure a house within their price range.
