Chris Bates is the cofounder of Flint and the mortgage broker who helped both of us buy our first homes.

We asked you on Instagram and the Facebook Discussion Group what questions you had about property. In this episode we ask Chris:

What first home buyers should do once they buy
When you should revalue your home
Tips to boost borrowing capacity
Chris' thoughts on the First Home Super Saver Scheme
What trends he's seeing in young buyers
Whether buyers agents are worth it?
