Why we bought our first home with a 100% mortgage - despite the risks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Until last year, Conroy, 32, and his partner Amber, 28, saw little prospect of owning their own home. They were renting in central Manchester where they work and could not afford to save up for a deposit. Then they came across a relatively niche, and some experts say riskier, type of mortgage that offered a solution. The Track Record mortgage from Skipton Building Society covers 100% of the value of a property, with the borrower paying nothing upfront. Borrowers must meet strict eligibility chec
Sibling rivalry: When parents play financial favourites (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do your parents have a favourite child and give them more money, gifts or help?

But it has struggled to thrive in recent years amid fierce competition from online giants like Amazon, with sales stagnating. Its owner Sainsbury's recently announced it was selling the chain for a lot less than it paid for it just 10 years ago. But the new owners say they see "real opportunities" for
'I pay £580 a month to live in a disused care home': Property guardians show us around (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Would you live in a disused care home, pub or bank in exchange for a heavily discounted rent? As cost of living pressures persist, a growing number of people are applying to become so-called property guardians - living in vacant residential or commercial buildings to protect them from squatters, vandalism and disrepair. They typically pay 30-50% less rent than private tenants, sometimes with bills thrown in, in exchange for looking after the buildings. However property guardians also have signif
