For many people, buying a home is one of the biggest financial commitments that they will make. But house hunting is not just about getting the price right. You also need to be confident that the property and location are right for you and your lifestyle. Here are five factors to consider when making your move*:

1. What Can You Afford?

We strongly recommend that you sit down with a professional adviser to ascertain what you can afford, based on your current financial situation. As well as your deposit and monthly mortgage repayments, there are many other extra costs involved with buying a home.

It’s essential to budget for Stamp Duty payments, conveyancing costs and other additional fees. This will help you enter your property search knowing what you can realistically afford.

We can help turn your property dreams into a reality. We will guide you through the process and talk you through your mortgage options, so you can view homes with confidence. Contact us for advice today.

Please note: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

If you’re busy looking after your children, you may not have had a chance to stop and think about life insurance, but this is key to protecting your family’s future*.

We know it’s not easy to think about what would happen in the event of your death. However, the loss of your income could significantly impact your family’s lifestyle at an already distressing time**. Even if you are a stay-at-home parent, it could cost a lot to replace what you contribute to the household in childcare.

In addition, attending higher education often comes at a great cost for a child and their families. With the right protection policy, you can ensure that your offspring would still have the opportunity to attend university or training, even if you are not there to support them.

There are different types of life insurance to choose from depending on your needs. Family income benefit is designed to provide regular monthly payments to surviving family members, rather than a lump sum. This can help give you peace of mind that your loved ones would still receive a steady income if you passed away.

The earlier you take steps to secure a happy financial future for your kids, the better - review your policy now.

If your job is deemed dangerous by an insurer, this may affect your protection policy.

Jobs are considered dangerous if there is an increased likelihood of death when compared with the average profession*. This includes the Armed Forces and working outside at heights over 15 metres. Firefighters and police officers are also often in this category, as evidence shows that there are associated health risks and increased fatalities.

If you have a hazardous occupation, you must disclose this when applying for life insurance. Otherwise, you risk invalidating your policy. You may need to provide further details about your duties so the insurer can assess the level of risk. Your premiums might be more expensive if the insurer decides there is a higher chance that they will need to make a payout.

If you are unable to get standard life insurance, you may be able to get specialist cover with the help of a professional adviser. It’s important to consider if you also need critical illness cover or income protection due to the nature of your job. We will explain your options so you can make an informed decision.

Please note: As with all insurance policies, conditions and exclusions will apply.

Recent research indicates that fewer home insurance customers are shopping around and switching providers, which means they could be missing out on more suitable deals.

According to Consumer Intelligence*, the number of consumers who are shopping around for new home insurance policies has fallen by 8% since the start of 2024. Similarly, the number of people who have made a switch has gone down by 7%, suggesting that policyholders are becoming increasingly loyal to their providers.

The research found that this trend is evident across all age groups. The largest decline in shopping around was seen among consumers between 35 and 54, where activity fell by 12%**. Meanwhile, the smallest drop was recorded among consumers aged 55 and above, although the decline of 5% still points to fewer people comparing policies before renewing.

If you’re shopping for home insurance, here are three things to consider to get the best deal:

3. The Importance of Advice:

Even if you are happy with your current insurer, it is important to review your policy as your circumstances may change over time. If you have renovated your home, you will likely need a different level of cover to reflect the new rebuild cost.

We understand that it can be easier to stick with what’s familiar, but you could be losing out on a policy that is better suited to your needs. Switching providers does not have to be time-consuming when you’re working with a professional adviser. We’ll do the research for you, so you can make an informed decision and have peace of mind that your home is appropriately insured.

2. It’s Not All About Price:

Although cost is an important consideration, choosing home insurance should never be solely about finding the cheapest premium. The right policy should provide an appropriate level of protection for your property.

When survey respondents were asked why they did not shop around for an alternative policy, 13% said that they were satisfied with the current level of cover. Meanwhile, 10% said they had excellent service, and a further 10% believed their insurer offered competitive pricing. These findings highlight that comprehensive cover and a reliable insurer are just as important as a policy that is good value.

1. Premiums on the Rise:

Many customers have noticed a rise in the price of their premiums, indicating that many people are sticking with the same policy even when the price increases. Among respondents who renewed their policy between March 2025 and February 2026, over half (54%) said that their renewal quote was higher than the previous year. A quarter (26%) said the price remained unchanged, and only 18% saw the price decrease.

Analysis from Moneyfacts shows how borrowers’ priorities have shifted due to the economic impact of the Middle East conflict*.

Mortgage rates have been fluctuating since March, and the short-term economic outlook is still unpredictable. As such, borrowers are increasingly looking for more flexible mortgage deals in the hope that rates will come down soon. According to the data, 6% of borrowers were looking for a variable or tracker deal last September, but this figure rose to 13% in April after the outbreak of war**.

Meanwhile, the share of mortgage holders looking for a two-year fixed deal increased from 49% to 53%. The statistics suggest that people are reluctant to commit to a five-year deal at the moment, as searches have gone down from 27% to 23%.

We can help you navigate the changing mortgage market and find a deal that works for you and your finances. Get in touch for advice today.

Please note: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
