There’s an increasingly big and brilliant haul of stories and advice out there about the pounds in our pockets. Each week, we scour the best of the UK’s personal finance blogs and tell you what caught our eye.

The Young Money Blog

Property P2P – The Only Option For Generation Rent?

The Young Money Blog was founded by the superb Iona Bain who was consequently named Money Blogger of the Year at the Santander Media Awards. Young Money is the first and only blog absolutely dedicated to young people’s finances.

So, you want to buy a house? Sometimes, the bank of mum and dad is not a feasible option for borrowing that money. Thankfully, there are other options, too. A new industry of P2P (peer-to-peer) lenders has sprung up to offer cash-strapped millennials a more accessible way to invest in property. However, P2P is not without its hazards… Super, informative piece here from Iona at The Young Money Blog.
