| 0:00.0 | This is an advertisement for Leeds Building Society, who are on a mission to get more people |
| 0:04.3 | on the housing ladder and up it, because they believe every generation deserves a place to call home. |
| 0:10.4 | Affording a home and saving for a deposit has never been easy, but it's also never been as hard |
| 0:15.2 | as it is right now. Leeds Building Society are launching a new campaign supporting home buyers |
| 0:20.2 | to get on and stay on the property ladder. They are committed to making housing more affordable, |
| 0:24.7 | accessible and available for everyone. Every 16 minutes, they help someone buy a home, |
| 0:30.1 | and one in two of their mortgages goes to a first-time buyer. I feel incredibly lucky to have |
| 0:35.3 | been able to buy my flat. It was very difficult for me to be able to afford it, but the stars aligned |

| 1:12.9 | This year, their savings members have helped over 9,000 first-time buyers onto the housing ladder, |
| 1:18.3 | so you know your savings are working harder. Find out more by visiting Leeds Building |

| 1:27.6 | Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the |
| 1:31.6 | Prudential Regulation Authority. Your property may be repossessed if you don't keep up repayments |
