PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Hi,

    There's a website called firsthomecoach.co.uk which guides you through the whole process of buying a home from beginning to end, which you might find useful.

    Good luck with the house and the baby :-)

    You only get the government bonus up to the first £4,000 each tax year. If you pay more money in before the 6th of April you won't receive the bonus. You'll need to wait until the new financial year before you put more money in, in order to get more bonus.
