From painting the walls your favourite colour to finally creating your perfect kitchen, owning your own home can be a dream come true. But with interest rates and house prices staying stubbornly high, many of us feel stuck at the still-just-a-dream stage.

We’re going to show you how snapping up your next place may be more achievable than you think.

This week, mortgage broker, property expert and investor Tayo Oguntonade joins our host Kia Commodore to unpick the big questions about buying property right now. They dig into homebuying facts and figures, saving for, buying, or even building your ideal place, snapping somewhere up with friends or family, and much more.

Kia and her guests share their own personal thoughts and opinions in this podcast. These might be different from Legal & General’s take on things. They give financial guidance for a UK audience that’s relevant at the time of recording. It’s general best practice, not the kind of personalised advice you’d get from a financial adviser.

And, as with all things to do with interest rates and house buying, it’s always worth double checking if house prices, mortgage rates, your own buying power and anything else have changed before you make any big decisions.
