What you need to know before buying a property in Stevenage

Before you begin your search for a new home, you need to be aware of a few key points relating to buying a property in Stevenage.

Budget: Before you start looking for a new home, you’ll need to have a budget in place. You’ll also need to be realistic about the type of property you can afford.

Location: It goes without saying that location is key when it comes to buying property. You’ll need to find a location that meets your needs, whether that’s a short commute to work, close proximity to good schools, or easy access to amenities.

Your mortgage options: You’ll need to decide what type of mortgage will suit you best. For example, you may want to take advantage of a low interest rate fixed rate deal to protect yourself against rising rates in the future.

Your conveyancing options: It’s also worth considering how you will go about buying your new home. Will you buy a new building or a house that’s already been inhabited? You’ll need to make sure you choose the right conveyancing option for your purchase.

When you’re ready to make an offer

When you’re ready to make an offer on the property, you’ll need to find out who the seller’s conveyancer is. This is the person you will deal with during the buying process. Your conveyancer will handle everything from your initial offer to signing the papers on your new home and is there to guide you through the process. Once you have made an offer on the property, you will need to give it to your conveyancer and they will handle the rest. There are a few things you will need to include in your offer such as the purchase price, the deposit amount, the date you want the transaction to be completed by and the names of any people assisting with the purchase. The seller will then decide whether to accept or reject your offer. Once you have a sale agreement, you can move on to the next stage in the property buying process.
