Buying a new home
Whether you're buying a new place, a second home or a holiday retreat, there's a lot to sort out before you move in. With our help, your mortgage shouldn't be on the 'to do' list for long, which means more time to plan for the big move.

Things to consider when buying a new home

Selling your existing home
Make your home stand out among buyers. Give it a thorough clean, especially the kitchen and bathroom; re-tiling and new surfaces can make a big difference. Make sure the exterior and front door offer a warm welcome. Tidy up the garden. Declutter rooms.

Staying in budget
Add up the costs associated with selling and buying a home. Factor in stamp duty, solicitors' fees and the estate agent's fee. You'll also be charged land registry and telegraphic transfer fees.

Buying a home abroad
If you're thinking of buying abroad familiarise yourself with the country's buying processes and customs. Consider transport links and facilities before making an offer on a property. Make the most of local expertise when arranging a mortgage.
