Finding the right home for you can take a while and it is important not to rush such an huge decision. Here are a few tips on finding the right home for you and your family:
- Look on multiple property websites such as RightMove, Zoopla, OntheMarket as not all estate agents will be on all 3 main platforms. Some may only be on 1 or 2 of those.
- Put your name down with lots of different estate agents to allow them to alert you if a new house comes on the market that fits your criteria
- View the property more than once as there may be things you didn't notice on your first viewing!
- Do not be afraid to ask lots of questions. You could even write a list!
- The house you are viewing could be your home so do not be afraid to explore properly!
- To be safe you can get a home buyers report from a chartered surveyor who will view the property themselves and right out a report for you which could highlight issues, future costs, which could save you thousands!
- Once you have viewed the house, have a walk or drive around the area
The most important thing is to take your time and ensure the property is right for you!
