Lots in the news this week about the increasing difficulty that the young face in buying their first home. Did you know that a third more “millennials” rent than their predecessors? A worrying statistic but unsurprising when you think how expensive property has become, especially here in the South East.

As ever, if you would like to discuss, we’d be delighted to help.
Best wishes,
