I won't be the only person scouring the T&C's for any 'first time house buyer' or the like, condition!

I couldn't find it so have opened one of these.

The flexibility is great.

Can anyone see any catch about having to use it on a mortgage or such?

Virgin Money Home Buyer Coach for those who already have Virgin Money accounts

If you apply for this account and are asked whether you are an existing customer,  you can use your VM Regular Saver account credentials. Or you can sign up as a new customer, in which case you will be allocated yet another VM ID. You cannot use your login credentials you may have for the VM current account.

To log in to see / manage your Virgin Money Home Buyer Coach account later on, you need to log in under "Savings".

Really easy to do. I've opened and funded it already.

Hi Everybody,

Here is this weekend's update to this thread.

- Added the Virgin Home Buying Coach Regular Saver (Issue 2) paying 1.75% on up to £250 per month until 20th December 2021 provided you open the account using the Home Buying Coach app

- Updated the entry on the Hanley Economic Home Deposit Saver to show it can be opened by post now and can only be opened by people living within 25 miles of their Head Office

I will do the next update next weekend.

I've logged into My Account via the Savings route but can't see how to apply for the Home Buyer saver. It doesn't appear in the list of accounts. I've earned my 100 credits though.

You need to start the application in the Home Buyer Coach app. In the checklist, find "Use the right savings accounts", and from there somewhere you can click on "Great, tell me more". That transports you to the actual application on the website.
