It’s Back To School Time! What Does This Mean When Buying A Home?

It’s Back To School Time! What Does This Mean When Buying A Home? | 2-Minute Read 

This week, many families will be thinking about which school they would like their children to attend next year, and this usually creates a rush in the market as families compete for homes in their selected areas.

You may see more competition for properties which is why it’s so important to get yourself into a strong position, but how do you do this… 

Speak to a mortgage advisor/ broker that has access to the whole market. They can give you specific advice on how much you can afford and how much it’s likely to cost as well as the fees involved in moving. 

Get a reputable conveyancer ready to help you with the legal work — lots of people do this later in the process but with extra competition this can help you move quickly. 

Register with as many estate agents as you can in the desired area you want to live in as they will work with you to find your next dream home.   

Most school applications are submitted early in the year so now is the perfect time to be proactive and start looking to ensure you move in time to make the application to the school you want. 

If you are selling a property, don’t delay on putting it on the market as you will likely need to have sold to also have any offer taken seriously as you will then be in a proceedable position. 

The house buying process can take several months to get to completion, but again, using a reputable mortgage broker that can walk you through the process and guide you along the way who understands why speed is important in these scenarios can be worth their weight in gold. 

Don’t delay — you might miss out on your dream home and in the perfect area. Speak to one of our advisors today!
