flag UK second-time buyers get average £81,451 from family help, crucial due to high prices and rates.

flag Financial support from family, known as the "bank of mum and dad," is increasingly critical for second-time homebuyers in the UK, with Barclays reporting they receive an average of £81,451—slightly more than first-time buyers. flag About 20% of second-time buyers received help, primarily through lump-sum gifts, inheritances, or family loans. flag Nearly half of renters say they couldn’t afford to buy without such aid, and high property prices remain a major barrier, despite improved budget clarity. flag While market activity may rise in early 2026, affordability challenges persist due to elevated mortgage rates and rising home prices.
