Why are Black British households significantly less likely to own a home than White British households?
This week, mortgage adviser Dan Knott is joined by financial educator Mr MoneyJar to discuss one of the UK’s biggest wealth inequalities and what can be done to address it.
We explore the role of systemic barriers, generational wealth, the Bank of Mum and Dad, cultural factors and why the length of time a family has been in the UK can have a significant impact on wealth accumulation and homeownership opportunities.

Topics covered:

- The Black British homeownership gap.

- Wealth building and financial education

- First-time buyer challenges in the UK.

- Generational wealth and family support.

- Cultural influences on homeownership.
