Today's podcast is focused on first-time buyers. This is a term used to describe a potential house buyer who has not previously owned a property.  In the UK, there are several government schemes that can help a first time buyer buy a home.

Right to Buy is for tenants who rent their home from their local council, Help to Buy is available to those with a small deposit and Shared ownership is where you buy a share of a home from the landlord, who is usually the council or a housing association, and rent the remaining share.

Social Housing landlords are currently struggling to keep up the demand for housing and are now looking to private landlords to help. However most private landlords are not as interested because the LHA (Local Housing Allowance) offered rarely match the market rates. With the number of claims increasing due to the pandemic, private landlords might find themselves in situations where a once paying tenant is now reliant on the government for help. With not enough social housing, private landlords will need to step up & with the government helping by boosting rates - the strategy is a win/win scenario. The social housing market is worth billions in the UK. It's time for private landlords to get a slice of the pie.

However the lockdown in itself is predicted to cause an expected rise in the number of separation and divorce. Relationships that were suffering before the lockdown are expected to get worse.

In today's podcast, Bimbola and Jo were joined by Tolu & Elizabeth Ayelabola as well as returning guest Tope Oyewoga to discuss this very interesting topic of God and Gender.   So we all know God is not male nor female but there are characteristics of God which does align more with one gender than the other. Recording this podcast was so much fun and definitely highlights the diversity of the male and the female gender     Join us in this discussion via instagram, twitter, facebook or email.
