Buying your first home is a huge decision and a milestone you may have been looking forward to for years. But it can be a daunting step to take too. 

Rising property prices mean UK adults are taking their first step onto the property ladder later in life. The average first-time buyer in the UK is 34, according to Money research.

However, Brits are far from the oldest average first-time buyer in the world; in Switzerland, the average first-time buyer is 48.
