In this first value-packed episode of the Move iQ podcast we dive into the truth behind what you think you want, and what you actually need from your prospective new home.

Our host - property expert and investor, TV presenter and Founding Director of Move iQ, Phil Spencer, is joined by co-host, Chris Ducker. Chris is a published author, serial entrepreneur and founder of Youpreneur.com. As someone who has recently been through the home buying process himself, Chris has plenty of questions for Phil.

Phil shares his top tips on how you can see past your wish list to discover a property criterion that is better suited to your lifestyle, your needs, and your budget.

Listen in to find out:

• Differentiating between what you want and what you need from your home.
• How to stop yourself from becoming 'property blind' when house hunting.
• Why you should calculate a sensible budget before looking at any properties.
• Whether or not renovating is the right decision as a first-time buyer.
• Why you need to rank your requirements in order of priority.
