You can get up to 20% of the value of your property - or 40% if you live in London - under the scheme.We only had to put down a 5% deposit for it, which cost just over £9,000.How did you save for it?Then Covid hit in 2020, and Daniel had to move in with me and my family. We lived with my family rent-free - which was a god send, as we put all of this money into our savings.Before, we would spend around £2,500 going abroad, so we saved around £5,000 in total over two years.We would spend £800 a year on this, so that saved us £1,600 in total.We discovered we were spending £300 a month on this though - so while we were saving, we didn't spend anything on ordering food.
