Where should we email you the day it opens?

Everyone on the list opens at about £12/mo. It's £17 after that.

We'll save your details to hold your place on the list, email you the day we open, and send you useful first-time buyer tips in the meantime. Unsubscribe anytime. Privacy policy.

Email first, so we’ve got you. Two more taps after this and that’s it.

Step 2 of 2 — optional

Good call.

Nearly 1 in 4 agreed sales in the UK fell through in early 2026, and the average sale now takes around 134 days from offer to exchange. Most first-time buyers find that out the hard way.

When we open, you get:

  • The full walkthrough of how buying actually works, start to finish
  • Live sessions with Kev and Josh
  • Kev’s workbooks
  • Other buyers going through it at the same time
  • Brokers, conveyancers and surveyors we’d use ourselves

You’ll go into your first viewing understanding the process. Most people you’re up against won’t.
