Don't forget to budget for more than just the deposit!
Many buyers focus on saving their deposit, but there are several other costs to consider:
Deposit
Stamp Duty (where applicable)
Solicitor's fees and searches
Mortgage broker fees (if charged)
Lender arrangement/product fees
Survey and valuation costs
These expenses can add up quickly, which is why financial planning is so important. Understanding the full cost of buying a home before you start your search can help you avoid unexpected surprises and ensure you're financially prepared when the right property comes along.
