Your first home, turned into a month-by-month plan
The full house price isn't the number that matters - your deposit is, and the path to it is usually shorter than it feels. Put your numbers in and see a realistic date you could be ready by, and what a Lifetime ISA does to it.
Plan the cost before you build - clarity now saves heartache later.
Luke 14:28 - Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost?

Christian Finance Academy · The Deposit Roadmap is a guide to help you plan, not personal financial or mortgage advice. Stamp duty figures use England & Northern Ireland rates (Scotland and Wales differ) and are illustrative. Lifetime ISA rules apply (ages 18-39 to open, homes up to £450,000, withdrawal charges outside qualifying use).
