The Truth About Buying a Home with Gabriel Nussbaum

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 13:55:00 +0100

In this episode of the Investing Insiders Podcast, we sit down with Gabriel Nussbaum (aka That Money Guy) to unpack the tough truth about buying a home in today’s UK market.

With rising property prices, stubborn inflation, and tightening lending criteria, many would-be homeowners are asking the same question: is homeownership still a realistic goal, or just a distant dream?

Gabriel shares insights on the financial realities behind saving for a deposit, navigating mortgage hurdles and whether it’s worth getting professional advice.

We also dig in to government initiatives like the Lifetime ISA (LISA) whether it’s really helping savers get closer to owning their first home. Or do the limits and withdrawal penalties do more harm than good?

For more help on topics mentioned in this episode be sure to check out our Lifetime ISA Guide and Lifetime ISA Calculator to help you make a more informed decision about your homebuying process.
