FirstHome Prep

Buying your first home shouldn't feel like learning a foreign language. FirstHome Prep breaks the whole process into 8 short, plain-English units - from "should I even buy?" all the way to picking up your keys - with a friendly guide, real UK numbers, and zero jargon. WHAT YOU GET Learn, one small step at a time 50 short lessons across 8 units: Foundations, Money and Deposits, Mortgages, The True Cost, Finding a Home, Making an Offer, The Legal Bit, and Getting the Keys. Every lesson ends with a quick check so it actually sticks. A glossary that never talks down to you 64 terms - "gazumping," "leasehold," "Agreement in Principle" - explained in one sentence, with a real example and why it matters to your money. Free forever. Six calculators for your real numbers Stamp Duty (England, Scotland, and Wales - with first-time buyer relief built in), Deposit and LTV, Monthly Repayments, Lifetime ISA growth, Total Budget, and Affordability. No spreadsheets required. Track every property you view Save each home you look at, work through a 5-point checklist (damp, windows, boiler, lease length, service charge), and get an automatic score and red-flag list - so you don't fall for a fresh coat of paint over a damp problem. Myth-busters and real scenarios "Buying is always better than renting" - true or false? Practice real decision points (gazumping, sealed bids, survey surprises) before they happen to you. Streaks, badges, and a readiness score Learn at your own pace. No pressure, no guilt trips - just a Homebuyer Readiness Score that goes up as you go. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT We don't sell mortgages, insurance, or leads. There's no "talk to a broker" upsell hiding in the lessons. It's just the education - the kind you wish someone had given you before you started. Unit 1 and the Glossary are free forever. A single one-time purchase unlocks everything else: no subscription, no recurring charge. This app helps you learn. It is not financial advice.
