One of the UK’s top-rated financial advisory firms is offering free, no-strings-attached expert advice to help young people onto the housing ladder.
Independent financial advisers Matthew Douglas Ltd, recently crowned Best Financial Advice Firm in East England by Citywire, has launched Thrive by 35, a groundbreaking initiative offering completely free guidance to under-35s who haven’t yet bought a home.
The scheme provides aspiring homeowners with personalised financial advice, step-by-step action plans, and regular progress check-ins – with zero fees or expectations of future business.
Founder and company director Matthew Pescott Frost said: “For many young people today, owning a home feels more like a dream than a tangible goal. Thrive by 35 is our way of turning aspiration into action. No fees, no catches – just solid, personal advice from experts who care.” “We just want to help people buy their first home.”
The initiative comes amid mounting concern over the decline in young homeownership. In 2000, 59% of under-35s owned a home; today, that figure has dropped to just 39%, with average UK house prices up 244% over the same period.
Thrive by 35 is part of a wider effort by the firm to support communities traditionally underserved by the financial services industry. It also follows Matthew Douglas Ltd’s recent expansion with a new central London office, complementing its Hadleigh, Suffolk headquarters.
Founded in 2003, Matthew Douglas Ltd specialises in mortgages, tax advice, retirement planning, and inheritance guidance, and has been featured in the Citywire Top 100 New Model Adviser list for eleven consecutive years. It was also recently recognised as one of the Best Financial Advisers to Work For by the Professional Adviser Awards.
Pescott Frost added: “Financial advice shouldn’t be something only the wealthy can afford. With Thrive by 35, we’re backing the next generation to build the future they deserve.”
