The Buying Process
Buying a new Home can be a very stressful process, if this is your new home knowing where or how to start can be confusing and overwhelming. Below we have out together a guide which can be useful when starting to think about buying your home
SAVING FOR A DEPOSIT
A typical deposit starts at around 5% of the purchase price. The price range you are searching with will influence how much of a deposit ...
FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU CAN BORROW
There are a lot of online calculators that can give you an idea of how much you can borrow, but don’t rely on these too heavily.
KEEP AN OPEN MIND ON WHERE YOU WANT TO BUY
Housing supply is in short supply, and very high demand, especially in cites. Therefore, you will have to weigh up the pros and cons ...
Top six reason why you should consider purchasing a New Build
- Guarantees: new-build homes come with a 10-year warranty covering structural defects. Most developers also provide their own two-year warranty.
- High spec: new homes are built to the latest specifications, so major repairs should be unnecessary for the first few years. They tend to be more energy-efficient, too, so you could benefit from lower utility bills.
- Personalisation: if you buy off-plan, you might be able to choose your fixtures and finishes. This is great if you're attracted by the 'blank canvas' element of buying new-build.
- Smoother process: there's no upward chain to contend with when you buy a new-build home, which means you won't be stuck waiting for someone to sell a property before you can move in.
- Incentives: some developers will try and persuade you to buy by offering to pay your legal fees or even your stamp duty - although the latter will be less helpful for first-time buyers, who are often exempt from this.
- Schemes: Help to Buy equity loans are exclusively available on new-build properties. Disruption: if you're one of the first to move in, you could find yourself living on a building site for months or even years while the rest of the work is completed.
