Organising your family finance is very important and cannot be understated.
A big deposit on a property can help you secure a mortgage as when a lender is 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. These may include temporary falls in house prices, periods of unemployment and periods of a reduced income or at least disposable income, so the bigger the deposit is the less exposed the lender is to changes. A bigger deposit also means you can have smaller monthly payments as you will be borrowing less therefore the property will be seen as more affordable.
We think it is really important that you set some money aside for moving costs, its important to budget for all costs involved in moving home. Buyers may be liable for stamp duty and will need to pay solicitor’s and surveyor’s 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 budget for unforeseen expenses. In other words, funds available to deal with anything about your new that you only notice once you’ve moved in.
Help to Buy scheme can also help you to get onto the property ladder if you want to get a new-built home. Provided that buyers can put down a deposit of at least 5%, the government will lend up to 20% of the purchase price of the property. This means that the buyer only needs to get a mortgage for the remaining 75% of the purchase price.
