Top Questions to Think About When Looking For Your First Home
So, you’ve finally saved enough for a deposit and you can now start looking for the perfect home. But, when do you begin? It’s easy to think you have a good idea of what you want, however, the housing market is vast, and with so many options to consider you may feel a little lost.
To help you along the way, this blog will explain some of the top questions you should consider when looking for your first home.
Many first-time buyers opt for a fixer-upper - a property that needs work doing, but can be sold for a higher price. Initially, this can be more affordable and a great way of putting your stamp on things. Whether you plan on adding an extension or renovating the garden, a fixer upper can be a lucrative option or the perfect way of creating your dream home.
Will it be your long-term home?
Think about what stage you’re at in your life. Will your first home be a place where you raise a family, or do you plan on staying for a few years? If you’re thinking more long-term then it may be worth getting a little bit more in your savings pot, so you can buy a property that has everything you need.
What are you looking for in a location?
Location is an important factor when it comes to buying a house. Do you want to be close to your family? Are you looking for a home with good schools nearby? Is living close to your job important? Think about the amenities you need around you, and don’t settle for a location that you’re not 100% set on. Also consider transport links.
