First Home Buyer Guide
A practical way to work out if you can buy, what can stop you, and which schemes actually help with which problem.
Prefer to be walked through it? The interactive walkthrough covers the same ground the way I cover it in a session. This guide is the version you keep and share.

Want someone to sanity-check your position?
If you read the guide and want a second set of eyes, we can look at your deposit, borrowing capacity, likely bottleneck, scheme fit and what still needs checking. Want a head start on the cash side? Use the cash-to-complete checklist, then put your price through my free cost to complete calculator.
