GETTING on the property ladder is no easy task, but Ryan Harris managed to bag his first home eight years earlier than planned.
CAD Engineer Ryan, 22, moved into his £265,000 two-bedroom apartment in Solihull, West Midlands, in January this year.
He was living at his girlfriend’s family home when he decided to get serious about getting his own place last year.
Ryan managed to tuck away around £200 a week to build up the sum needed to get his own digs.
But saving for a deposit was made a lot easier when he came across the shared ownership scheme – a scheme for first-time buyers which allows you to buy with a lower deposit.
