Buying a home is one of life’s biggest financial and emotional milestones, but it can also feel overwhelming. From deposits and legal fees to mortgage rates and market changes, there’s a lot to consider before you get the keys.

In this episode, our host Iona Bain sits down with Sarah Tucker, mortgage expert and founder and CEO of The Mortgage Mum, to break down the home buying journey step-by-step and what it all might cost.

With recent changes to Stamp Duty and mortgage lending, Sarah shares her expert insights on the housing market. Together they cover the stages, typical costs, common pitfalls and the emotional rollercoaster of a homebuyer’s journey.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to move, this episode is packed with practical advice and reassurance and your ultimate guide to making calm, confident, informed decisions for your next move.
