Saving for a home

Dream, save, own!

Saving money doesn’t just require discipline; it also requires an understanding of where you’d like to be, a timescale, and a plan in place to get you there. When your goal is to purchase a home, it is key to break the goal down into manageable chunks to make the process feel attainable.

It takes time, but with the right advice in place at an early stage, you will feel confident that you will eventually reach your end goal of owning a home. Whether you are an individual or a couple, we equip you with the necessary resources and advice to achieve this momentous milestone.

Questions you might have

When can I afford to buy my first home?

We will do a deep dive into your finances, including existing savings and expenditures, to gain a better understanding of when you can realistically afford to buy a home.

Our team will be truthful about what is achievable, and we will work alongside you to reach your goal.

How much money should I save each month?

That’s a good question and one that is unique to the individual. We will meet with you to understand your current circumstances; for example, are you living with your parents or renting?

Once we understand how much money you have left over each month, we will help you budget and save.

How will I pay my mortgage if I'm sick?

If you are unable to work through illness, one of the biggest concerns you’ll have is paying your mortgage.

We’d never want you to be worried about this, so we will ensure you are protected against any unexpected circumstances by putting relevant insurance in place. This means you and your family will be well looked after.

The plan will have no cash in value at any time, and will cease at the end of the term. If premiums are not maintained, then cover will lapse.

What’s the best way to save?

Saving up for a deposit can feel like a difficult task. However, when you know how to save correctly, it makes things a lot easier.

Everyone’s needs and circumstances are different, so we will first understand what yours are before suggesting the optimum ways to save money.

How does an ISA work?

We understand that the world of finances is all new to you, and it is likely the first time you have come to someone for advice.

We will explain exactly how an ISA works and whether this is the appropriate route for you to go down when saving for a home.

Explore the possibilities

One of the first things we will do is understand what timescale you’d like to work toward. Would you like to own a home in five years or even sooner? Then, we will give you advice on how best to go about saving for a home and get plans in motion to help you get there.

We will ensure you are a little wiser about the buying process, especially as a first-time buyer.
