Finding Home: A Guide to Choosing a Property That Fits the Life You Want to Live

Whether you're ready to buy a home or just exploring your options, this book will help you cut through the chaos and make home-buying decisions that support your lifestyle and well-being.

Keeping the dream of home ownership alive for first-home buyers, renters, side-hustlers and anyone with a modern career who wants a home that fits their lifestyle.

Most conventional home-buying advice is outdated. The idea that if you work hard and save, you can buy a home and be financially secure no longer applies. With skyrocketing house prices and cost-of-living pressures, buying your first home can feel overwhelming, even impossible. But there is another way. Finding Home offers a fresh, empowering approach to choosing where to live and how to buy - on your terms.

Written by urban designer and tech entrepreneur Lucinda Hartley - who has spent two decades shaping cities and neighbourhoods around the world - this book blends practical tools, evidence-based insights and real-life stories to help you make confident housing choices. You'll learn how to align your home with your values, lifestyle, and neighbourhood, while navigating trade-offs, finance options and the buying process.

Having lived in more than ten countries - and twice as many homes - Lucinda also brings a personal lens to the complexities and trade-offs of finding a home.
