  1. Buyers Advice – Location Location Location

    It’s the three words that home buyers constantly hear: “location, location, location”. That’s because location is a key reason why home buyers will purchase one dwelling over another, regardless of what the home offers. Why? Fixtures and fittings are changeable but location isn’t. Nearby amenities, particularly rapidly evolving ones, will also add to the property value. But exactly what makes a great location? One word: convenience. With busyness now the average way of life, time is more treasured than ever. So, search for a property within a 10-minute drive of a grocery store and other basic retail points such as a gas station, schools and medical facilities. Home buyers in urban areas may also be keen to live close to a larger shopping mall. Other things to consider: School proximity
    • Locations close to top-notch educational facilities are a driving force for home buyers, including those currently without children but planning to have them in the future. Even those planning never to have children should check this point as school proximity can add to home values.
    Transport convenience
    • Whether by road or public transport, this is another major location key, especially when it comes to an easy commute to employment, schools and everyday facilities. Also check on current and upcoming transport developments in the area.
    Entertainment
    • While not as crucial, entertainment and recreational facilities should not be forgotten when it comes to ideal locations. Think public parks, walking trails, sporting facilities, pools, bars, restaurants, cafés, museums, art galleries and everything in-between. Parents will particularly prefer an easy commute to local sports fields.
    Do your research! The best way to check a property location is to drive or walk around the area at different times of the day and week. Inspect all facilities close to the home and talk to people including  local residents and store owners.

  2. Buyer Advice – Why You Need A Real Estate Agent

    I know that you have a lot of decisions coming up now that you’re in the hunt for a new house. This post is just aimed to arm you with some super helpful information to help you make the right decision, no matter what direction you want to go. An agent’s prime function is to help guide you through all of your decisions and processes. We help with not just finding the right home for you but also: – Setting appropriate budgets – Finding hidden details on homes (both good and bad) – Helping out with locating hidden costs (taxes, utilities, etc.) – Negotiations – Closing – Paperwork – Help you find the best mortgage lenders, movers, home inspectors and more And, of course, all the emotional support needed when making such a big purchase. If you want to go solo that’s great, and I wish you the best! But, if you think you do want to hire an agent, make sure to interview them first. Be sure to ask questions about their career like “How long have you been an agent?” “How many homes have you sold in the last year?” and “What kind of homes do you specialize in?” That’s it! I really do hope this information serves you well in finding the right agent, and if you’d like to talk further about it then feel free to let me know. I am happy to help you get started and answer any questions you may have about myself!

  5. 🏡 Rightmove House Price Index shows first-time buyers face record prices

    With high interest rates making mortgages more expensive and the cost of living crisis forcing people to cut spending, the housing market had been struggling

  6. Is the focus on restoring routes to #homeownership the best way of resolving the #housingcrisis for the young?

    Well here's one young person who thinks not.

    A useful corrective to the normalisation of the plight of #firsttimebuyers!

    theguardian.com/commentisfree/

  7. And so the dip in #houseprices continues, but, lthose currently unable to afford to buy a house of their own will continue to be frustrated about stratospheric house prices in the UK.

    Looking at a longer record of house prices as a multiple of average earnings; we need to get back to the multiples prevalent before the 1990s to see more accessibility for #firsttimebuyers.

    Hmmm... could the pivotal moment for #housing be the big bang #financialservices deregulation in the 1980s, I wonder?

  8. The UK's #housingcrisis has a number of dimensions including #homelessness and the exploitation/abuse of #renters... but given the #Tories claim to have built a property-owning #democracy, the plight of #firsttimebuyers is also a major problem... how do those in work buy their first home when mortgage payments (compounding the massive increase in #energy prices) approach 40% (!!!) of their take-home pay... this just cannot be sustainable! And helps explain the young's cynicism about #capitalism!
