Are you currently saving for a mortgage deposit and feel like you're climbing a never ending staircase? It can be surprising how a few little changes can increase how much you can save each month. Saving up for your deposit can take a long time so here are 10 practical ways to save for your deposit. 🏘️
1. Look into taking out a Lifetime ISA - One of the two reasons ISA's exist is to help make purchasing your first home easier. The government provide a 25% bonus each month into the account based on your contributions.
2. Cut out unnecessary subscriptions - Get rid of those little subscriptions that you do not need or can find cheaper elsewhere.
3. Keep track on your spending - Write out your monthly budget to help track where your money is going each month.
4. Sell unused items - Sell those unwanted items and make a bit of extra cash for your deposit
5. Automate your savings each month - Set up a standing order to your savings account. This ensure you are consistently putting money into your savings each month
