First time buyer advice – issues to consider:
Mortgages – consider speaking to an independent financial advisor (IFA) to find out how much you may be able to borrow, you don’t want to find your perfect house only to be unable to borrow the required amount. We can recommend a number of IFA’s to assist you.
Negotiating your purchase price – as a first time buyer with no connected sale you have an advantage over other potential buyers who may have to sell their house before being able to buy and you may be able to use this to your advantage when negotiating your purchase price.
Additional expenses – Stamp duty (if the property is valued over £250,000) Searches and property survey.
