OUR TOP TIPS 

  1. Budget: Start by getting a clear understanding of your finances. Assess your income, expenses, and savings to determine how much you can comfortably afford to spend on a property. Remember to consider additional costs such as legal fees, stamp duty, and moving expenses.

  2. Credit Check: Before applying for a mortgage, check your credit score and address any issues that may affect your eligibility. We recommend Check My File:  https://www.checkmyfile.partners/9S5C515/2CTPL/  £12 will be paid by Check My File to Roff Financial which is a trading name of Brook Financial Services Limited which is an appointed representative of Mortgage Advice Bureau Limited and Mortgage Advice Bureau (Derby) Limited.

  3. Government Schemes: Explore government schemes designed to help first-time buyers. These initiatives can make homeownership more accessible by providing assistance with deposits and mortgage payments.

  4. Mortgage Mastery: Understand the different types of mortgages available and choose one that suits your circumstances. Fixed-rate, tracker, and variable mortgages each have their pros and cons, so seek advice from our mortgage experts to find the best option for you.

  5. Location, Location, Location: Research potential areas carefully, considering factors such as transport links, amenities, schools, and future development plans. Visit the areas at different times of the day to get a feel for the area and ensure it aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.

  6. List Your Priorities:  Create a list of must-have features and preferences for your new home. Be prepared to compromise on some aspects but prioritise non-negotiables. Attend viewings with a critical eye and take notes to compare properties later.

  7. Property Prowess: Before making an offer, conduct thorough inspections of potential properties. Look for signs of structural issues, damp, and other potential problems. Don't hesitate to ask questions and request additional information from sellers or estate agents.

  8. Negotiation Know-How: When it comes to negotiating the price, be confident but realistic. Research recent sales in the area to gauge market value and make an informed offer. Our experienced negotiators can help you navigate the process and secure the most suitable deal.

  9. Stay Savvy: Stay informed throughout the buying process and don't hesitate to ask questions or seek advice from our team at Roff Financial. We're here to support you from start to finish, making your journey to homeownership as smooth and stress-free as possible.
