Today’s episode is for anyone who’s looked at the price of houses in this country and felt a bit depressed - for many, it seems like that particular dream out of reach, so why bother trying?

While housing is expensive, there are other ways to get onto the housing ladder – but there’s a fair bit you need to know to ensure it doesn’t go pear-shaped. 

To help everyone navigate some of the options, and the fishhooks with them, Nadine chats with Amy Stevens, the founder of Slice – a platform that helps people achieve the home ownership dream. 

And then she talks to Ali Ventura, who teamed up with two friends alongside her husband to buy a home together and how that's working - especially now that she has a baby in the mix.
