For first-time buyers in the UK
Stop renting.
Start owning.
Straight answers and step-by-step help to buy your first home, from Andy Haynes, author of the Amazon number-one bestseller No More Rent.
Sound familiar?
Renting feels like paying someone else's mortgage
“The rent keeps going up.”
And none of it is building anything for you.
“The deposit feels out of reach.”
You're saving, but the finish line keeps moving.
“Where do I even start?”
Mortgages, surveys, solicitors, offers: it's a lot to work out on your own.
How it works
Three steps to your own front door

Ask Property Dad
No question is too basic
Not sure how much deposit you need, what a survey covers or where to start? Send your question and Andy will answer it, by email or in a future post.
I'll only use your first name if you've ticked the box to say that's OK.
Discovery Day
Bring your questions. Leave with a plan.
A Discovery Day is a relaxed, in-person day for first-time buyers.
I'll bring alive the words from my book, No More Rent, by talking the ideas through with you in person.
You'll leave knowing:
- how much deposit you really need, and ways to build it faster
- how to get "Finance Ready" so a lender is more likely to say yes
- what happens between making an offer and getting the keys, and what it all costs
- how to find sellers who want a quick, simple sale
Bring your questions about mortgages, solicitors and surveys, and I'll answer them.
You'll go home with your own plan and your next steps.
If you're ready to stop renting and start owning, I can help you with further training.
No question is too basic, and there's no hard sell.
Dates are coming soon, so register your interest and you'll be the first to hear.

About Andy
Hi, I'm Andy Haynes
I bought my first house in 1983... it was a 3-bed semi in Bewdley for £23,750 and my uncle told me it was far too expensive because it was five times the price he had paid for a similar place a generation earlier.
Before that, I'd rented for years, paying off someone else's mortgage month after month.
Today, first-time buyers are, on average, in their 30s (that's much older than I was) and I'd love to help bring that age back down.
That's why I wrote No More Rent... it's a useful starting point guide, and will inspire you if you want to stop renting and start owning.
If you want a better understanding, ask Property Dad (which is my nickname) and no question here is too basic.
