tezza:My daughter and son in law and 2 their children are finding it impossible to buy a reasonable 3 bed house in the Southampton area

Every day prices go up and it seems interest rates are going up , which should dampen house prices

They are renting a 3 bed house costing £600 permonth. Alas they have very little savings.

Is there any advice that could help them get started

My Son in law has a salary of just over £30K

Maybe shared ownership is an option? So you only pay for 75% of the property? (example) Just a suggestion. From my experience I have Northern Rock are the ones who lend you most. lending up to 125%. I am a FTB also so please dont take anything what i say as fact, just speaking from what I have experienced.

Hope you find something suitable :)
