Hannath's Top Tips for Buying

The local property market is booming and properties are selling at a rapid pace, making it all the more important that you are well prepared and ready to act when you find your dream home.

You want to be poised and ready to go onto the property ladder when the time comes, here are some things you can do to get you started and pave your way to a successful property purchase.

Tip number one is to speak to your mortgage advisor:

Start saving and pay down debts, the bigger deposit you can save, the better the mortgage deal you will get. Pay down credit cards and any short-term loans, your mortgage adviser will advise you of all of this but please be honest with them about your debts, so that there are no surprises when the mortgage lenders do their detailed checks on you. Speak to our team and we can pass you across to our trusted mortgage advisors.

Tip number two is to set your budget:

Being able to borrow large amounts of money doesn’t always mean you should, make sure you’re comfortable with the monthly repayment, can you raise the deposit, have you left enough money to pay fees, stamp duty and the general cost of moving home.

Tip number three is to set up a wish list:

Write down everything that is important to you, what is essential to have and what features are just a bonus. Our website allows you to filter your options and narrow down the property search. You can filter properties by property type and property attributes such as off-street parking or a garage. Being able to tell the agent exactly what you want and don’t want, gives us the best chance at finding the perfect home for you.
