First-time buyers can expect to get on the ladder at 39

HSBC research has revealed that first-time homebuyers can now expect to get on the property ladder at age 39, whilst those who already own a home were 28-years-old on average when they bought their first property. More than half of those looking to buy their first home already have a family to support. Two-thirds of people wanting to buy expect to make their purchase with a partner.
