Owning your own home is very different to living in rented accommodation and one lifestyle could be more suited to you than the other.
Buying a house at 40: why 30 isn’t too late to start saving With so much talk of “getting on the property ladder” as early as possible, it can be easy to become demotivated if you haven’t managed to do it yet. But it’s never too late to start saving to buy your first home. […]
Lifetime ISAs give you a 25% government bonus on top of your savings to help you buy your first home or save for retirement.
However, buying a house can be a complicated process, so how does your lifetime ISA fit in?
A mortgage is simply money lent to you by a mortgage lender to buy a property. With most mortgages, you’ll pay this money back over time by paying a set amount each month.
To help inspire your homebuying journey, we’ve listed some of the best homes you can buy with a lifetime ISA across the UK.
Saving for your children should be an option for everyone. Whether or not you claim benefits, you have a right to open a Junior ISA.
Junior ISAs allow you to put money away over time for your children and grandchildren.
Tax-exempt savings plans are another way to save on behalf of a child, but how do they compare to junior ISAs?
If you’re weighing up how to start saving for your child, you could open a junior ISA (JISA) in their name or save on their behalf in your own adult ISA.
Junior ISAs and child savings accounts both help you save for your child’s future, but they’re very different products and suit different needs.
