MAKE EACH STAGE OF YOUR SEARCH MORE USEFUL
BRING A CLEAR SET OF PRIORITIES
Tell us the areas you are considering, your preferred property type and an approximate budget. It helps to separate essential features from those you would simply like to have. For example, an accessible entrance may be essential while an extra bedroom may be flexible. Explain your intended use and timescale too. A home for your own occupation can involve different practical questions from a second home or a property you intend to let.
PREPARE FOR PROPERTY ENQUIRIES AND VIEWINGS
When a listing interests you, note its reference and the points you want clarified. You might ask about current availability, tenure, room measurements, included fixtures or arrangements for a viewing. Compare the answers with your needs rather than relying on photographs alone. If you are comparing several homes, keep a short record of each conversation. This makes it easier to identify missing information and decide which questions to put to the relevant selling representative.
KNOW WHICH PROFESSIONAL TO ASK
Our website helps you explore listings and prepare for the buying journey. It is not a substitute for independent legal, survey, tax or regulated financial advice. A conveyancer checks title and contract matters. A surveyor can assess a building within the scope of the survey you commission. A lender or mortgage adviser considers finance. Ask each professional to confirm their scope, fees and limitations in writing so you understand who is responsible for each part of your purchase.
