Buying your first home can be an experience you’ll never forget. While the actual process of house-buying only starts once you have found a property that you might like to call your home. Planning ahead will give you a huge advantage when it comes to getting the home you really want. Getting your finances in order cannot be understated. Our first piece of advice is to accumulate as big of a deposit as possible and the reason for this is because the borrower’s deposit is the lender’s protection. When deciding whether or not to accept a mortgage application, lenders have to think about the challenges potential borrowers may encounter during the life of the mortgage. The bigger the deposit will also mean smaller repayments as the mortgage will be smaller.
We also advise to set some money aside for moving costs, it is important to budget for all costs involved in moving home, buyers may be liable for stamp duty and will need to pay solicitors and surveyors fees. The actual cost of moving from A to B and of furnishing and equipping a new home will depend on a variety of factors. It can, however, be useful to have a budget for unforeseen expenses. In other words, funds available to deal with anything about your new home that you only notice once you’ve moved in. Although not strictly a home-purchasing cost, new homeowners household items as the need arise.
