Might be the odd one out here, but why should friends have to tell you? It’s their business how they got their home. I’m sure most people don’t go around talking salary etc with friends. I have no issue to tell people I was fortune enough to get some help from family buying our house, but we didn’t buy outside our means like Hannah probably has, we reduced the amount of mortgage we had for which we are very grateful.I absolutely think their parents would be gifting them the deposit, I don’t think Richie’s fam are poor either. Probably will help with the interior designer etc and then let them pay their mortgage every month.
it bothers me when people never acknowledge the help their parents give them. I’ve had friends get mortgages recently and you know they couldn’t afford it without help but never say a word. Just be honest about it. No need for figures or they gave us X, just a tiny acknowledgment.
I also don’t think Hannah needs to spell it out her family and possibly in-laws have helped out, at no stage has she talked about the mortgage process so it’s obvious. Even if she did say it people will still have the same issues with her.
She more needs to have a touch of reality when doing stories around the house, that although it might be the norm for her, it’s not the norm for the majority of her followers. But then again she’s always been tone deaf.
