Buying a Home in 2025: Is The Dream Still Alive?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Buying a home has never felt harder: high interest rates, confusing mortgage jargon, and rising costs are pushing first-time buyers to the brink. But is it still possible?
In this episode, Tom is joined by Octopus Money Mortgage Adviser Ramneet Bains to unpack the reality of buying in 2025. They explore what most people get wrong about mortgages, how much you really need to save, and why fixed vs variable rates are about more than just interest. Ramneet also shares his take on renting vs buying, whether it ever makes sense to invest your deposit, and what he’d change if he were Prime Minister for a day.
