Choosing a property

Decide on the kind of property and location you want, such as semi-detached, terraced, or flat - then ask yourself a few questions each time you view somewhere:

  • Have you spoken with a financial advisor?
  • Is it near the transport links, or schools, or facilities you need?
  • Do you like the area?
  • Is it big enough?
  • How old is it?
  • Does it have enough outdoor space, such as gardens and garages?
  • Is it freehold or leasehold?
