<p>A recent report from Barclays revealed that right-sizing – when homeowners move to a more suitably sized property – could potentially free up 3.8 million homes and tackle the issue of 10 million unused bedrooms across the UK.</p> <p>By supporting last-time buyers to make the move and release equity, this shift could help in unlocking the housing market and creating greater levels of movement across the entire housing chain. In this episode of the Mortgage Insider podcast, host and property expert Phil Spencer is joined by Sian McIntyre, Head of Acquisition & Engagement at Barclays UK Life Moments, and Jo Pocklington, Managing Director at Purplebricks Mortgages to evaluate this complex conversation.</p> <p>Together, they explore what right-sizing really means, what’s stopping people from making the move, and why brokers should care – even when the customer may not need a mortgage. They also discuss the needs of last-time buyers, the benefits of releasing equity, and how developers, policymakers and families can all play a part in removing the practical and emotional barriers to moving.</p> <p>Tune in for insights on later-life housing, stock shortages, affordability, and what needs to happen to get the market moving, from the top of the chain down.</p> <p>Barclays’ Group Policy Development team creates public policy thought leadership content on behalf of Barclays. Our work draws on the bank’s expertise, data and insights, and is intended to inform the design and application of public policy solutions in response to pressing economic and societal challenges.</p> <p>Barclays' report on Right-sizing can be found here:</p> <p><a href="https://home.barclays/content/dam/home-barclays/documents/news/Insights/Right-sizing-Revolution-Unlocking-Untapped-Capacity-in-the-Housing-Market-Report.pdf">https://home.barclays/content/dam/home-barclays/documents/news/Insights/Right-sizing-Revolution-Unlocking-Untapped-Capacity-in-the-Housing-Market-Report.pdf</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

<p>For many first-time buyers, the homeownership dream feels increasingly out of reach, with rising house prices and affordability challenges making it harder than ever to step onto the property ladder. As a result, gifted deposits from family - often referred to as the ‘Bank of Mum & Dad’ - have become a crucial source of support. But what about those who don’t have parental help? From high LTV mortgages to Joint Borrower Sole Proprietor arrangements and Shared Ownership, there are a range of available options.</p> <p>In this episode of the latest Mortgage Insider podcast, host and property expert Phil Spencer is joined by Simon Betteridge, CFO of Kensington and Barclays Mortgages, and Paula Higgins, founder and CEO of the Homeowners Alliance to explore the different types of mortgages designed to help first-time buyers for those with, and without this financial support, including solutions for freelance and self-employed borrowers.</p> <p>Within this discussion, the trio also assess the role of specialist mortgage brokers in guiding clients through these choices, ensuring they find the right path to homeownership and the key trends which are likely to shape the first-time buyer market in 2025.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
