Nurses, hospital workers, teachers, police, firemen, in fact many of the UK's key workers are placed in a position where it is hard to step onto the property ladder.
For government workers, or indeed anyone in the community on average pay scales, affording a first home is a difficulty. The Government's housing policy calls for more affordable housing for it's key workers in the UK. There are now a growing number of possibilities, among them, affordable housing, shared ownership and joint ownership. The Government is also improving the 'right to buy' offering for 'council tenants' in many parts of the country.
For those fed up with renting in the UK and lining a landlord's pocket with monthly rental payments then you probably want to invest in your own first home. You might be considering affordable housing or shared ownership. These are good options. Joint ownership is a more flexible and sometimes cheaper alternative where instead of buying with a property developer you invest with other individuals - perhaps someone you are already successfully renting with. If you want to know more about joint ownership, shared ownership or joint mortgages but as a first time buyer don't know where to start, then FirstRungNow can help you onto that first rung of the property ladder just as soon as you want! You will soon be a first time buyer. Sharing a house and living with a tenant or co-owner can be good fun too never mind the benefits of sharing the mortgage payments, insurance premiums and household bills. Buying with someone else makes owning your first home a real possibility.
