Cover story: How to buy your dream home
We've all heard the horror stories. Houses going for three times the asking price, thirtysomethings stuck living at home with their parents, hundreds of potential buyers fighting over the right to own the keys to a public lavatory-come-one bedroom flat. But owning a property doesn't have to be beyond your grasp. The List has quizzed a range of property experts from lawyers and estate agents to Kirstie and Phil from Channel 4’s Location Location Location, and got their insider tips. With our help you'll bag your dream home. We have also spoken to recent buyers who have taken a creative approach to property owning, without blowing their budget. Discover how, where and what to buy on page 17.
