Let’s talk money, stress, and surprises..
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really costs to buy your first home in England, not just the big stuff like your deposit and mortgage, but all the extras no one warns you about until it’s too late!
From solicitor fees to moving vans, surveys to sofas, I’ll walk you through it all with total honesty (and a few “I wish I’d known” moments from my own experience). Whether you’re early in the process or knee-deep in spreadsheets, this episode will help you budget smarter, feel more prepared, and avoid that sinking “wait, how much?!” moment.
🎧 You’ll learn:
• A breakdown of every major (and sneaky) cost involved in buying your first home
• How much everything cost when we moved into our first home
• What to ask/look out for when talking to solicitors around sneaky extra costs!
• My personal tips for budgeting without burnout
✨ This one is your money roadmap — real numbers, real talk, and real help.
