First time buyers Aaron & Luke, reflect on their experience of the grant below.
Securing the Empty Homes Grant meant that we could take the first step on the property ladder a lot sooner than we would’ve been able to without it. We needed to secure a 15% deposit for our mortgage and to buy a house that was ready for us to move into straight away would’ve been out of our reach for another year or two of saving.
We’ve got a baby on the way and, although there’s a lot of work to be done to be able to move in, we’re so happy to be in a much more stable position starting our family.
