Once a house deposit has been paid, how do you make most of the money that's left over?

Buying your first property can be an expensive business. Kim and Eileen help you source affordable furniture, cut the costs of a new pet, and avoid being confused by conveyancing.

Money Coach Eileen Adamson joins Stuart as he gets the keys to his new flat. They discuss the lessons that other first time buyers can learn from his experience of house hunting, conveyancing and compromising. One reason Stuart wanted his own place was so he could have a dog - Sharon Comrie from the SSPCA has tips on reducing the cost of owning a pet. Kim McAllister visits the Edinburgh Remakery to see how small repairs can give second hand furniture a new lease of life. Myles Fitt from Citizens Advice Scotland explains why paying your Council Tax should be a priority.
