OPENING DOORS & CLIMBING LADDERS
By educating young adults about the steps required to get on the property ladder, Cooper Brouard is empowering the homeowners of tomorrow. As the next generation of property buyers, it’s essential that young adults have a solid understanding of the process. An open forum has been created to discuss worries and concerns; the market, and the financial environment new homeowners may purchase in.
Equipping young adults with this knowledge bridges the gap between the somewhat daunting task of beginning the house purchase journey and eventually signing the papers.

By working with students to break down those barriers and highlighting what’s needed early on, the team hopes to instil the wisdom which supports a generation of informed homebuyers.
When students leave school, they’re often thrust into a world of complex financial decision-making without the necessary education to make educated choices.
By offering seminars like this, Cooper Brouard hopes to build a foundation of knowledge that can serve students for the rest of their lives. The lessons learned during the seminars will undoubtedly be valuable to the students, not only when it comes to buying a property but also for managing their finances in general.
The first in a series of interactive seminars, was attended by 200 students at the Guernsey Sixth Form Centre and was a resounding success. Members of the Senior Leadership staff praised the presentation team for the fun, informative and practical nature of the sessions. Throughout the seminar, students also learned about the different types of mortgages available, how to calculate the amount they could borrow and the importance of saving for a deposit.
Empowering young people through education is one of the best ways to ensure that they are prepared to navigate the challenges of modern life. And, in the current housing market, the ability to purchase a property can seem like a formidable task.
But, with the right education and support, it’s possible for anyone to take the steps necessary to get on the property ladder.
