Buying your first home is a big milestone – exciting, yes, but also full of questions. At Webbers, we believe in empowering first-time buyers with clear, honest advice. If you’re planning to buy in 2025, here’s what you need to know:
1. Understand the Costs Involved
It’s not just about your deposit. You’ll also need to budget for solicitor fees, surveys, stamp duty (if applicable), and moving costs. We can help you plan realistically.
2. Get a Mortgage Agreement in Principle
This shows sellers you’re serious and can afford what you’re offering. It also helps you know your budget before you start viewing properties.
3. Know What to Look For
When viewing homes, think beyond aesthetics. Check boiler age, windows, damp spots, and EPC ratings. A good estate agent (like us!) will help you ask the right questions.
4. Explore Local Hotspots
The South West has many areas ideal for first-time buyers, from vibrant towns to quieter villages. We can help you find the right spot for your lifestyle and budget. You can access our local area guides here
5. Stay Calm and Informed
The process can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our team supports you every step of the way – from first viewing to handing over the keys.
Let Webbers help you turn the dream of homeownership into a reality.
