Saving for a house
Buying a home requires planning. So, whether you’re saving for your own home or looking to put some money aside to help your children get on the property ladder, receiving the best advice is important.
SECURING YOUR DREAM HOME
Most of us want to own our home. Unfortunately, rising prices might make it feel like it is out of reach. However, equipped with a financial plan based around sound saving you can accumulate the funds necessary to put down your first deposit and secure that special place.
RISING INFLATION
Over the past decade, house prices have been rising. While the value of your ideal home today might be €200,000, five years down the road, prices may have risen. If you’re only saving on deposit, the reality is you could be falling further behind your house deposit objectives.
TOOLS TO GET YOU STARTED
Knowing how to save for your goals is important, but you don’t have to be a financial genius to do it. Use our budget calculator to work out how much you can save.
Saving for home improvements
Making improvements is part of the joy of home-ownership. If you plan correctly and save for the changes you wish to make, home improvement projects can be exciting and very rewarding, both mentally and financially.
STARTING A SAVINGS PLAN
If you are considering work on your house, don’t go further into debt. There may be lots of home improvements you’d like to make but adding debt is never a good idea. Instead, try and save some money to create the finances needed.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
A great motivator to start the savings habit is recognising that your home improvement project will add value to your property. Before you dive into that living room conversion, look at which projects give the best return on investment.
CONTROL YOUR SPENDING
If you’re not measuring, you’re guessing. Using our budget calculator will help you get a handle on your finances. You’ll be amazed at how much you spend on things that are not important.
