Protection belongs in the same budget. If the mortgage depends on two incomes, it depends on both people staying well enough to earn. That is the part of the purchase we advise on directly.
Average prices above £500,000 mean first time buyer relief does not apply on a typical purchase here. Budget the full duty from the start.
