Next home- how to save?

[flutterby1]

Everyone hears about saving for your first deposit but HOW do you save to move up the property ladder ? Or does everyone just add up their mortgage?

Overpay existing mortgage to build up equity and /or build up savings separately plus (albeit not at present in much of the Uk) using increased equity from growth in property values

also increasing value of their home through doing works to it as well
