1 Determine Your Budget
Buying a home involves more than just the purchase price. Consider additional costs such as:
- Mortgage fees (arrangement, valuation, and broker fees)
- Legal fees
- Stamp duty
- Survey costs
- Moving and renovation expenses
If you’re selling a property, factor in agency and conveyancing fees. Our team can provide an accurate valuation to help you plan your finances.
2 Strengthen Your Buying Position
- Selling an existing home? We offer free, expert valuations to help you get the best price quickly.
- Mortgage ready? A mortgage agreement in principle strengthens your position as a buyer. Our in-house mortgage broker can assist in securing the best deal.
