my husband just told me (while trying to make me feel better about replacing our HVAC) when he read Housebuying for Dummies it said you should pay 5% of your home value in maintenance per year. which works out to almost exactly $500/week for us lol

people bang on about SDLT when it's the third biggest cost in housebuying (after the deposit, the mortgage repayments, and possibly even the legal fees)

Sorry to hear that Steve. Housebuying and selling is a monstrously stressful thing.

I think they're trying to find the "big" things people might need it for. As in, "lots of people have bought a house, it is stressful, this might make that a little easier". The problem, as you say, is there are far worse/more frustrating bits in the housebuying process than an ID check.

Plans for a major reform of the housebuying system, which aim to cut costs, reduce delays and halve failed sales, have been unveiled by the government. Housing Secretary Steve Reed said the changes would "fix the broken system" and put more money "back into working people's pockets". Under the new proposals, sellers and estate agents will be legally required to provide key information about a property up front. The overhaul could save first-time buyers an average of £710 and cut up to four weeks off the typical property transaction timeline, according to the government.

I hear you, it is disappointing. But I don't know all the rules of housebuying. That's why I ask/employ advisors 🤔

1. should be that insurance premiums are based on this year's (perceived) risk while climate impacts are decadal (though we may be down to one decade now)
People mostly don't make housebuying decisions on the basis of one year but that's where the insurance premium is.

You'd hope to have built up some interest as well if you'd been saving into a LISA for 10 years. But Govt basically claws back 125% of your entire pot if you use the money not for housebuying (on the assumption of Govt's share having gained interest I assume but it may not have gained that much)

A mate described the mortgage approval process as like being allocated magic housebuying points. The sums of money are so large that they're not real. If you tried to figure out what you were spending in more prosaic everyday budgeting you'd go mad.
