Lookingfor your first home

We explain the process of looking for your first home. We’ve provided a handy checklist for all your paperwork and the documentation you will need.

We share tips on what should you ask an estate agent about a property and how to go about organising your property searches and what do you look for when viewing potential new homes.

The full cost of buying a home doesn’t just include the deposit. We let you know what extra costs – Stamp duty and legal fees, for example – you’ll have to pay and what they could end up costing you.
