First Time Buyer Launches Website to Raise £50,000 Deposit

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 11, 2008 -- Ipswich, Suffolk, UK, March 2008 -- A first time buyer from Ipswich, Suffolk, is launching a website to raise £50,000 for a deposit on a house, and raise awareness of unaffordable housing while helping other first time buyers.

Tim Ballard hopes that his website (http://www.firsthousepage.com) will raise the £50,000 through online advertising. Tim is currently on a teacher's salary and he still finds housing to be unaffordable with the average UK house price now over £222,000 (source: BBC) despite recent drops.

“I am striving to make FirstHousePage.com into the most useful website for first time buyers in the UK,” said Tim.

Currently the website contains more than eight guides that include: The House Buying Process, Finding the Right Time to Buy, Mortgages, How to find your first house, Alternative Ways to Buy, Surveys for First Time Buyers, First Time Buyer Initiatives and How much can I afford?

Also, the website contains a borrowing calculator, stamp duty calculator, mortgage repayment calculator and checklists. Content is added weekly and first time buyers can subscribe to a monthly newsletter, or RSS feed.

For additional information on FirstHousePage.com visit the FAQ page of http://www.firsthousepage.com, or contact Tim Ballard. More details about the founder can be found on his personal website, which is http://www.tim-ballard.co.uk.
