Important tips to remember when buying a property
IN today’s property market, homes can be snapped up quickly, so make sure you know what you’re looking for – and if it’s within your budget.
Rebecca Miller, associate editor at Fabulous, has spent the last six months house hunting, and it’s been exhausting! She shares her tips for getting the perfect property.
1. Write a list of essential items
“Find out what you really want from a property, what’s important to you and your lifestyle, and anything that’s a complete no-no.
“For example, I needed a bathroom upstairs. I’m not at university anymore, I don’t want to walk around the kitchen in a towel to take a shower. I also wanted a big garden – gardening is my passion and having my own space was important.
“But maybe you need off-road parking, good local schools, or amenities around the corner? Whatever it is, write a list – and stick to it!”
2. Check your finances and set a budget
“There’s no point looking at houses you can’t afford – it only leads to disappointment and wasted time.
“Sit down with a mortgage advisor – an initial conversation is always free – and work out what your home budget will be and how much you’re comfortable paying on a mortgage each month.
“In my experience looking for a home, the asking price was just the beginning and bidding wars were common among desperate potential buyers.
“So when visiting homes, visit those that are under budget to give you the chance to increase your offer. And if the seller wants more than your budget – be prepared to walk away. No house is worth taking on difficult debt.”
3. Plan for extra costs
“Buying a property is always more expensive than you initially think, as little extras accumulate along the way.
“This includes but is not limited to: solicitors, mortgage advisor, identity checks, estate agent fees (if you have a property to sell), surveys and surveys – and most importantly – stamp duty, of which this Last need to pay within 14 days after completion.
“You may have enough savings for a deposit and solicitor’s fees – but have you accounted for everything else? My biggest tip – you can never have enough savings when buying a property.”
