This
section may seem very obvious. So skip it if you're clear on what
you want and where you want to live. Otherwise read on. (We get
very good feedback on it).
The clearer you are on exactly
what you want the quicker you'll find it. If you're
just dipping your toe in the water and seeing what takes your fancy
the problem will be you'll be inundated with thousands of properties.
After
a few weeks you'll start getting a feeling of deja vu. "Didn't
I look at that fisherman's shed in the Outer Hebrides last month?
Errr..."
If
you've got the time, great. But if you want to move fast narrow
your options down so you can cut a swathe through the numerous
possibilities on offer.
If
you're not sure about what you want and where you want to
live, try this:
First consider what can you
afford? Think of your ideal property, and then lower your
sights down to what you'd be prepared to put up with.
Get
a Mortgage in principle.
This will give you a clear idea on how big a mortgage you
can borrow.
Then think about What location?
Where
do you want to buy? What part of the country or city? How close
to a particular school, job / commuting access etc.
Bear
in mind the differences in price of being just
in or just out of a fashionable area. And remember
that once run down areas can become very expensive - after the
students, artists and sundry bohemians made them trendy while
they were cheap. (But beware the dangers of " ddresses"
ie buying near a trendy area on the basis that you're actually
in the trendy area when, no, actually, you're not. Read more)
If
a new transport link - or other facility - is going to be built
nearby then a property could soar in value
What
size do you need? How many rooms / bathrooms? Want a garden?
and so on.
By Getting a Mortgage in Principle
you will have an idea of what size you can afford in your chosen
location.
If you don't have a clear idea on what you're looking for and can't
narrow down your options it could make your search longer and impractical.
Checking the area
The
internet has made available a wealth of information on all the different
factors affecting each area of the UK.
A lot
of this is marketing information that previously was only available
to commercial companies planning their sales campaigns etc.
However
now you can get a picture of the area you're thinking about living
in. For example, details on schools, health, crime, social conditions,
services, facilities and much more.
