HOMES
House prices are on the up
Here are five ways to ensure you can still purchase the home you want
As we all know, house prices are at an all-time high thanks to the stamp duty holiday as well as the countless Government schemes and other factors that have been available to those wanting to buy a property during the pandemic. As the property industry is currently a sellers’ market, it can be difficult to catch up with the increasing costs while trying to save up for an even bigger deposit.
That’s why the team at
www.onlinemortgageadvisor.co.uk have shared their top five tips that will help make sure you can still purchase the home you want.
Don’t be afraid to haggle
Although you might think that lots of people are looking at the same property as you, it may not be the case. Prices are high right now and it can put a lot of people off buying a home. When you come to put your offer in, don’t be scared of putting in a lowball offer to begin with as the seller might end up accepting it, and if they don’t, the worst they can do is say no and ask you to up your offer.
Put more money
away each month If you have any extra money that you can spare each month, be sure to put it towards your deposit. This way, you won’t have to apply for a bigger mortgage than you intended
and can still afford to go for the property you want.
Set up a side hustle Everyone seems to have a
side business at the moment, and it’s evident that they can actually become pretty profitable. If you have that extra income coming in each month from your side hustle, try putting it away for your deposit as you’ll be able to reach your goal much quicker.
Consider getting a fixer upper
Fixer uppers can often be a great option if you already have in mind how you want your home to look. Save yourself some money and go for a property that’s a little more run- down and fix it up to your standard with the money you have left over as a result of choosing a cheaper property.
Find yourself a more affordable
conveyancer Just because your estate agent recommends a particular conveyancer, doesn’t mean they’re the best and cheapest. Additionally, the recommendation is probably commission based. Talk to the estate agent’s recommendation, but just use their quote as a benchmark price for any other conveyancers you speak to.
