Readiness score

Get a simple snapshot of how close you are to being ready to buy your first home.

Before you start

This score is a guide, not a pass or fail

The readiness score is there to help you see what looks strong already and what may need more work before you move forward.

  • • Answer based on where you are now, not where you think you should be
  • • Use the result to spot your next best step, not to judge yourself
  • • Come back and update it as your plans become clearer
