Martin Lewis explains a £1 offer for people born in 2008

Martin Lewis gave advice to young people who want to buy a house in the UK.

The typical age for a first-time buyer in the UK is 34. This age has gone up in recent years because of rising house prices and higher deposit requirements.

Starting to save early can help young people. Martin Lewis said, 'Put £1 into a Lifetime ISA after you turn 18.'

You can save up to £4,000 a year in a Lifetime ISA. The state adds 25% on top for your first home.

Martin told students that a Lifetime ISA is the best way to save for a first home. He also mentioned one potential problem.

You can only use a Lifetime ISA to buy a house under £450,000. This might be a problem for people in London where houses are more expensive.

Following simple rules can help people save more with government support. These accounts must be open for at least a year.

Starting with £1 begins the one-year requirement, even if you forget about it.

After a year, you can add more money and get a 25% bonus if you need it.

Houses bought with a Lifetime ISA must be worth less than £450,000.

First-time buyers must meet certain requirements to use the scheme.

Young couples can speed up the process by planning and combining their accounts and bonuses.

Both partners can get a 25% government bonus towards the same deposit.

This can add up to a significant deposit, depending on the property and location.
