Home Ownership becoming more difficult for Gen Y

To all our readers, I hope you have enjoyed a Merry Christmas with family and friends.

I have recently read an article that points to difficult times ahead for Gen Y in being able to purchase a home of their own. Gen Y is often considered to be people born between the late 1970's and 1992.

The article published in the Daily Telegraph can be read here.......click link below

The article makes particlur reference to the fact that Gen Y's are failing the lenders job stability test and that 1 in 10 mortgage applications are being knocked back by the Banks. The article goes on to say "while it is not impossible for job hopping Gen Yers to get a loan, it is certyainly more difficult".

Given that the Banks are slowly tightening their lending criteria it is only going to get tougher to get a loan in the future. The Solicitors Property Centre have developed a Home Ownership Program for tenants who would love to own their own home. The Program is designed to help a tenant make the transition to home ownership with full guidance and support from a team of property lawyers that will "hold your hand" through the process.
