Decide What You Can Afford
Before you start hunting for that dream home, figure
out how much house you can afford. Otherwise you'll
end up frustrated and disappointed when you find the
perfect home only to discover that you can't afford
it. Get the financial information you'll need, now.
For example, find out how large a mortgage you can comfortably
handle, the size of the deposit you wish to put down
on your new home.
When you are completing on your new home, besides your
deposit, surveyor's fees and homeowner's insurance premiums,
you'll also need money for certain other completion
costs, that may include:
- Title insurance fee,
- Survey fees,
- Mortgage Arrangement fee,
- Solicitor's fees or escrow fees,
- Document preparation fee,
If cash is limited, some mortgage lenders will allow
the seller to pay some or all of the completion costs
and certain completion costs can often be added to the
amount of the loan itself.
This is something to keep in mind when you're selecting
a mortgage lender.
