A children’s nurse and Welsh Parliament member took up seven jobs between them to be able to buy a house with their £250,000 budget. They still had to accept a loan from their parents.
Sharing that “virtually impossible” to climb the property ladder, a woman and her boyfriend have shared their first-time buyer journey.
When Anya Clements, 22, and Calum Jones, 27 started looking at buying a home together, they were initially excited â but they soon realised getting on the property ladder without the “bank of mum and dad” was out of the question.
As interest rates rose, the young couple were convinced their dream of owning a home was “impossible” and while they kept looking, there was nothing for them within their £250,000 budget.
In a bid to make their wishes come true, the children’s nurse and Welsh Parliament member took up seven jobs between them, and moved two hours away from their family.
