First Time Home Buyers North London

We know how exciting buying your first home is. We also understand it can be confusing and sometimes a little bit daunting, so don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Remember we are here to help, and we doubt there will be many questions we haven’t heard before.

First things first

First you need to know where you stand with your finances.  Do your homework and understand the costs involved with the purchase, such as the deposit, solicitor’s costs, arrangement and survey fees; and the running costs of your property like insurance, utilities and maintenance.

What sort of mortgage is best, can you use Help to buy or shared ownership schemes?  Talk to a qualified and experienced financial advisor (and yes we do know one we can put you in touch with) to fully understand the potential costs and the options available to you. They will also help you find the right mortgage deal for you and your circumstances.

Beginning your search

Once you have a clear picture of where you stand financially, you can get on with the fun bit and start looking at property.

Register on the website or call one of our offices. You will be kept updated as soon as anything suitable comes onto the market.

Have a look at the video tours we have on the properties we are selling to get an idea of what’s available in the areas and price ranges you are interested in. (A quick tip, broaden your horizons. Don’t tie yourself down to a particular area, think about others close by or maybe a bit further afield – it’s surprising how many people are living happily in an area they hadn’t first considered).

Once you have found a property you like we will guide you through making an offer and the conveyancing process.
