Home Buying Tips: Buy bigger

Some experts say people on the lower reaches of the property ladder should buy the biggest property they can afford.

This is because putting your money into property is usually seen as the best way to save.

If you've got a monthly mortgage bill to meet it'll automatically trigger you to act more sensibly. So you're less likely to fritter away your money of fripperies.

And because property is one of the best ways to invest money, where it is almost guaranteed to outstrip inflation - unlike bank accounts and the stock market - this will stand you in good stead in the future.

There's another theory that medium sized properties are easier to sell than small properties - eg a flat is easier to sell than a studio flat and so on.

However that's become more debatable as the price of property has reached very high levels - to the point where people can probably only afford the studio flat.

Home Buying Tips: Be organised

Many professionals in the house buying / selling game are people best described as needing help to do their jobs and complete their tasks on time. That'll be your responsibilty.

The only thing they'll definitely be good at is sending you a bill for their over-inflated fees.

To make sure things keep moving along with your deal:

Keep notes of who you've contacted and chase them up when the promised information doesn't arrive promptly.

A good way to do this is to have a project book or file where you scribble everything down and can find it easily - as opposed to looking for scraps of paper you're sure you put... er, where was it again?

Ideally this should include a diary/ calendar facility. If you can't find a filofax calender or whatever, make one!

The best time management rule is Do It Now. Leave it till later and it's forgotten forever.
