Hello First Time Buyers!

We have an opportunity for anyone who has successfully bagged their first property (or is nearly there) with a paid £20 voucher of your choice from Amazon or Love2shop in the mix!

We'd love to speak to some of you about your homebuying journey. We'd only need a few things:

1. A maximum of 10 minutes of your time for a phone call where We'll ask you a few questions about your experience.
2. A smiley photo of you outside your lovely home to be shared on an editorial.
3. Your acceptance of a £20 voucher to do with as you wish!

From there, we'll type up an editorial about your story with your picture.

The idea is that by sharing real experiences, whether they be horror stories or smooth rides, we'll be able to help the next First Time Buyer feel less alone and more able to take that leap and make that move.

If you're comfortable to do more, we are also looking for our next housing influencer. For a bigger voucher, we would love it if you could record your buying journey. That can be for every win, every stumble, or every time you want to scream for joy or frustration. All we'd want is 20 second or more clips from each step where you speak to the camera and tell us about what's going on, how you're feeling, and what's next. After that, send them over for us to compile and share with our customers.

If you are interested, please make sure that you are comfortable with the idea of your story and your image being saved within the reallymoving archives to be potentially shared with our connected news outlets.

If you're interested, please take part in our very short survey.

We look forward to hearing from you! Thank you.
