The Fuss-Free Guide to Finding Your Dream Home in Thanet

This sales article gives tips on how buyers can fine-tune and fast-track their property search.

Introduction

Buying a home is a huge decision – possibly one of the biggest you’ll make in your lifetime (no pressure then).

And to ensure you make a wise choice that suits your needs now and into the future, it pays to give the process a bit of thought before you start arranging viewings.

Five Property-Hunting Tips


1. Do Your Homework


Once you’ve identified where you want to live, it’s essential to gain a realistic understanding of the local property market. Combine online research with visiting the area in person to get a feel for the surroundings. Chat with a local estate agent to get an expert view.

2. Discussion Time


If you plan to buy with a partner, friend, or family member, sit down and discuss your housing needs and where you see yourselves in five or ten years. Clear communication is key.

3. Know Your Budget


Speak to a mortgage adviser to get a clear idea of your budget. How much you can borrow will depend on your income, expenditure, and outstanding debts, so be prepared.

4. Priorities and Trade-Offs


List your key priorities in order of importance. The top four on your list should be non-negotiables, while items five to eight are ‘nice to have but not dealbreakers’.

5. Get Your Admin Sorted


If you fall in love with a property within your budget, act decisively. Have a solicitor and surveyor lined up along with your mortgage in principle.
