Top Ten Tips For First Time Buyers: Tip 5

Tip 5: Considerations Before you buy

 

When buying a house it is a great idea to consider how being a homeowner will benefit you in the future. Possibly it could be that you want to rid yourself of rent payments and start making tangible payments towards your mortgage. Some people enjoy owning a home as it grants independence and removes the landlord/ client relationship. To make better choices at this stage it is good practise to narrow down your home-ownership goals, allowing for more concise decision-making. Here are 3 questions to ask yourself:

-What type of home suits your lifestyle?: With the multitude of property types available on the market you must decide what type will help you reach your future goals.

-What mortgage band are you in?: It could be potentially crucial the amount a lender is willing to give you for buying your first home. If you have a clear idea what the lender is offering then you will be able to assess what kind of property is in your price-range, reducing time wastage.

-Contact a real estate agency: A real estate agent will help reduce the stress of first-time house buying and guide you though the purchase.
