Most people in the UK think about buying their own home at some point in their lives, and your workforce pension scheme members will be no exception.

Homebuyer Hub, an innovative new tool, is there to help them, whether they're struggling to see how they can possibly save enough, or if they’re full of confidence about their home-buying journey.

HR Manager feedback about Homebuyer Hub

"

The Homebuyer hub is a very useful tool for those wishing to buy their first home, or just understand the housing market better.

"
"

The website and app in general are visual and very easy to understand. Heavy topics like pensions and savings can feel overwhelming but Standard Life successfully manages to break them down into information that is accessible to everyone

"
"

It is really beneficial to have a tool for members at this stage in their life and will help to engage them with their finances and Standard Life beyond buying their first home.

"

The hub successfully breaks down what can be quite overwhelming into a bitesize guide. It then allows employees to create their very own plan, allowing employees to understand the impact of their actions.
