Homebuyer Hub
Homebuyer Hub can help you on the journey to buying your first home - from deposit to doorstep.
The Standard Life app now offers you a personal digital coach, supporting you every step of the way to your dream home.
Homebuyer hub will provide you with helpful tools and information on buying your first home but it won’t provide you with financial advice or recommend any products.
Buying your first home is an exciting time, but the wealth of information out there can be daunting.
You might be thinking...
What do I need to know?
Well, don’t worry! Homebuyer hub brings everything you need to know into one place. From information on deposits, saving accounts, stamp duty, to the latest news in home buying.
What do I need to do?
The Homebuyer Hub checklist covers everything you need to do and gives you the tools to help get you there.
You can:
- Discover your borrowing power – this will help you understand how much you might be able to borrow and the type of home you can work towards
- Make a savings plan – personalised tools can help you see how much you need to save, and in what timeframe, to get your deposit. If you’re thinking, “What if I save more?” or “what if I save longer?”, you can adjust your plan and it will show the difference this could make and help you with these important decisions.
- Get help choosing the right accounts – Homebuyer Hub can help you understand your options, as some accounts are specifically designed to help first-time buyers and there’s a number of government schemes you could benefit from.
Then you might ask, what’s next?
Once you’ve saved up that deposit, you don’t have to go it alone. Homebuyer Hub offers you information on how to apply for a mortgage, find a solicitor, find the right home for you and getting building and contents insurance. There’s even some tips on moving in for when the big day comes.
So how can you start using Homebuyer Hub?
You’ll find it in the Standard Life mobile app, on the actions page, under tools.
If you haven’t already done so, download and register for the Standard Life mobile app today and take a step closer to picking up those keys for your first home.
