Video insights

@antonia_investing's TikTok video "A 10% deposit on a typical first-time buyer property in the UK is approximately £23,000. At average savings rates, that takes close to six years to accumulate. More than a third of first-time buyers receive financial help from family, a gift, a loan, or an inheritance. The deposit gap is not purely a savings discipline problem. It is partly a wealth transfer problem. Options that genuinely help: the Lifetime ISA (25% government bonus on up to £4,000 a year, for eligible under-40s buying a first home). The Freedom to Buy scheme (95% mortgages for those with a 5% deposit). Shared Ownership (buying a share of a property and paying rent on the rest). Sources: Nationwide Housing Affordability Report 2026 (£23,000 deposit figure and six-year saving timeline). UK Finance / Nationwide (one third of first-time buyers receiving family help). Freedom to Buy scheme confirmed July 2025. All figures correct as of June 2026. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage.
