So you’re thinking about buying your first home – how exciting! Although this is a really great moment in your life, it can also be quite overwhelming as it’s the first time you’ve gone through the buying process.
Also, because your home is likely to be the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought, it’s important to get it right!
We have created a guide, specifically for first time buyers, that explains the whole process step by step, right from how to get yourself mortgage ready, through to Help to Buy schemes and helpful checklists to make sure you don’t forget anything.
