What to think about when making an offer
If you’re confident that you can afford to buy your first home, it’s time to make an offer. Of course, your offer will be guided by your own budget and the level of demand in the area.
The value of properties can be affected by a range of factors. Before you make an offer, think about:
- The position of the house
- Whether the property needs to have any maintenance or decoration work
- Whether a fitted kitchen is installed.
- Whether the property is freehold or leasehold
- What fixtures and fittings will be included
If you are buying a new home from us, you may be able to choose which fixtures and fittings you have installed in your new home – and you even get a two year guarantee thrown in.
Many fixtures and fittings are built in as we construct your new home, so you’ll have more choices the earlier you reserve.
After the offer has been accepted
If your offer on your new home has been accepted, then congratulations! You or your IFA can tell your mortgage lender to start the buying process.
The lender will do a mortgage valuation of the property you want to buy. You may decide to pay for a homebuyer’s survey or even a full structural survey.
If you buy from Taylor Wimpey you have the assurance of an NHBC 10 year structural warranty.
You will also need to find a property solicitor or conveyancer who will carry out the legal aspects of the house-buying process on your behalf, including any surveys.
Take a look at our guide to the Home Buying Process for more details and how we can help you with this process.
