This article delves into the rising trend of parental financial support for homebuyers, examining the consequences for both parents and children, including potential strains on finances and long-term impacts on housing markets.
The temptation is obvious. Soaring house prices have made buying a home tough for most home buyers and prompted many parents to think they should step in and make a financial contribution.
The typical argument is that Mum and Dad don’t really need the money and that their children will inherit it one day anyway so it might as well be now when it can do some real good.
