The Truth About Property — Season 1

Getting on and staying on the property ladder has never been so difficult. Whether you are buying, selling or trying to keep up with the mortgage payments no-one seems certain where the market is headed. Andrew Verity travels the country discovering just how far homebuyers stretch themselves to get on the ladder and questions if they are wise to do so now. And he meets those already there battling to keep their homes.

In part two, Andrew Verity travels the country discovering how much some homeowners have made but finds others having problems moving up the property ladder. So is property still a good investment? And have you hit the jackpot or are high property prices the very thing which stands between you and your dream home?

Andrew Verity meets people who think they have solved their property-buying problems, but have they really found an effective solution? And he asks whether building more homes is the only true way out of Britain's housing shortage.
