data-contrast=\"auto\">However, research in recent years has suggested that first-time buyers (FTBs) could be experiencing the most expensive conditions in 70 years.<\/span><\/p><h5><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Who is most affected?<\/span><\/b><\/h5><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the current property market, a successful first purchase often requires two high incomes plus financial support from family members.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Therefore, those who are buying alone, have lower incomes or cannot access help from family, are at the most risk of losing out.<\/span><\/p><h5><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Delaying proceedings<\/span><\/b><\/h5><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ongoing market uncertainty has led many aspiring homeowners to pause their plans. Studies indicate that over the past few years, 49% of prospective FTBs have postponed buying a home*.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Among those delaying, 53% cited high house prices as the primary reason*.<\/span><\/p><h5><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Making a compromise<\/span><\/b><\/h5><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">F<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">or those determined to buy, compromise has become an essential part of the process. Data shows that 38% of homeowners who purchased in the last five years had to adjust their expectations to make their first purchase possible*.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Common compromises include purchasing a property that required renovation (40%) or relocating to a different area than originally planned (34%)*.<\/span><\/p><h5><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Practical tips for First-time buyers (FTBs)<\/span><\/b><\/h5><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite the challenges, there are several key steps you can take to navigate the property market and help guide your approach.<\/span><\/p><h6><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Explore mortgage options<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/h6><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Do not assume your bank will offer the most competitive deal. It is worth reviewing offers from multiple lenders, or seeking advice from an independent mortgage broker.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Some may offer fixed-rate loans, while others favour variable rates, so understanding what is available can make a significant difference to your borrowing costs. Depending upon the interest rate environment in which you find yourself, your preferences will differ.<\/span><\/p><h6><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Determine your budget and consider all costs<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/h6><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Your deposit and mortgage repayments are only one part of a much larger picture.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Remember to account for legal fees, taxes, valuation costs, insurance, utility bills, and ongoing maintenance.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Having a clear view of your total financial commitment from the outset can help prevent surprises and avoid overstretching yourself.<\/span><\/p><h6><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Consider price, location and condition<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/h6><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These three factors form the foundation of any home search. You will typically be able to prioritise two, but may need to compromise on the third.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, if you want a prime location and excellent condition, the price may be higher than your budget. Alternatively, you might find value in a property that needs renovation or is in a less central area.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Clarifying your non-negotiables and your &#8216;nice-to-haves&#8217; will help keep your search focused and realistic.<\/span><\/p><h6><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Plan for unexpected expenses<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/h6><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It is easy to become emotionally invested in a property, but practical considerations must come first, even if it feels like the perfect match.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Be prepared for potential issues that might arise from surveys or inspections, and allow room in your finances for repairs or improvements.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Flexibility and patience are vital, as the right home will meet both your budget and your needs.<\/span><\/p><h5><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Take control<\/span><\/b><\/h5><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ultimately, buying a home is a highly personal decision and should be guided by what fits your individual needs and long-term plans.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Some countries offer more favourable borrowing conditions, with lower mortgage rates and more flexible lending terms, while others continue to see rates remain higher for longer.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: inherit;
