    Re Coventry BS - Looks like my Coventry first home saver 5.9% (1st addition opened Dec 2022) is not classed as a savings account because i get this -

    First, apathy. Second, My First home saver, i may have bent the rules a bit, ie, It's not my first home.



  • I think the FHS (1) is classed as a savings account. Unfortunately Dec 22 is 11 months after the qualifying date. 
    Well done, well spotted, i think my cognitive decline is speeding up, think i need to do a few more jigsaw puzzles!

    Have you slept through the last two pages of comments on this thread.
    Pictures etc of accounts set up .

    A bit harsh, given it was Bridlington1's link that helped you set the account up in the first place.

    I assume by "now live" Bridlington1 means that the account is visible on the Coventry website without needing to know how to find it.  I.e. 'officially' live.  Some of us will appreciate that update.
    Yes a bit out of order me thinks
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    As I remember, it didn't have to be.  You could be saving to be able to help someone else (e.g. a family member) to buy their first home.
    And this is how I'm going to play the game if i every get the call, perhaps Bridlington1 could defend me :)

    There was even a (semi-serious) discussion at the time as to whether said family member had yet to be born (or, indeed, conceived).
