Rates are shifting, but is now actually a good time to buy?

In this video, I share a quick market update, why it’s currently a buyer’s market, and why timing the market isn’t always the right approach.

If you’re feeling unsure or waiting for the “perfect time”, this is worth a watch to help understand your options.

Self employed and thinking about buying this year?

Now is the perfect time to get your latest tax return finalised, especially if you’ve had a strong year. It could make a real difference to how much you’re able to borrow.

In this video, I explain how lenders assess self employed income, why timing matters, and how some lenders can even work with just one year of accounts.

If your income is a little more complex, the right advice can make all the difference.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Receiving a house deposit from abroad?

Planning ahead is essential.

One of the biggest reasons property purchases can be delayed is because buyers underestimate the amount of evidence required when funds are coming from overseas.

From bank statements and proof of wealth, to gifted deposit letters, ID checks and certified translations, UK lenders and solicitors must follow strict Anti-Money Laundering regulations.

The good news? With the right preparation, the process can be much smoother.

In our latest video, we explain what documents you'll need, common pitfalls to avoid, and how to prepare your overseas funds before making an offer on a property.

📺 Watch this video for more details and guidance.

If you're a foreign national buying in the UK, or receiving a deposit from abroad, we're always happy to help.

Buying a home together is exciting.

But before the saved kitchens, the garden ideas, and the “this could be us” conversations, you need to talk about the numbers.

What payment feels comfortable for both of you?

How much cash should stay in savings after closing?

Whose credit, income, and debts are being used for the mortgage?

Who is on the mortgage?

What happens if one person’s job changes, income changes, or timeline changes?

Not romantic.

Very necessary.

The strongest buyers are not always the ones with the biggest budget.

Sometimes they are the ones who had the honest money conversation before the house made everything emotional.

Save this for later.
Send it to the person you want to buy with.

Saving a 15% house deposit alone is taking years. 😑

Single buyers in the North East face the longest wait at 156 months (13 years), while the South East has the shortest at 75 months (just over 6 years). The England average is 90 months.

The good news is that a 15% deposit isn’t always needed, and we can help clients with low deposits (5%).

We even work with lenders who offer zero deposit options!

Budgeting is key, efficiency counts, and it's never too early to start visualising your property dream.

Figures in the video are based on average first-time buyer house price and regional earnings.
