Key tips on buying a home

Finding and buying a new home can be a challenging experience. To avoid disappointment and to ensure your dream home is just that, there are few things you can do.

1. Set a budget

Always speak to an independent financial adviser prior to viewing properties to establish your budget.

2. Get to know the area

Purchase an A-Z and walk around the area to check schools, shops, transport etc. Also make sure you visit the area again in the evening.

3. Be clear of the true market value

Always view as many properties as you can within your price range. This will enable you to make an informed decision on whether the price is correct on your chosen property.

Whether you are buying or selling, Matheson`s experienced teams are here to guide you through the whole process, from the first contract right up to the day you move.

From preparing the details, conducting the viewings, sorting out the finer points of the arrangements or keeping up to date with progress, rest assured we will be with you all the way.

The sales process can seem complicated and often frustrating, especially for those unsure of the procedure. To clarify the process for you we have produced a chart which explains the key stages from vendor instructions through to completion.
