Buying your first home is exciting - but let’s be honest, it can also feel like stepping into a maze of jargon, paperwork, and decisions you’ve never made before.

Here’s what most estate agents forget to tell you:

•  Your offer is more than just money. A good solicitor, strong mortgage in principle, and flexible timelines can make you more appealing than a higher offer.
  
• You’ll change your mind. You might start out looking for a 3-bed with a garden, then fall in love with a 2-bed near a great school. It’s normal, so stay open.
  
• Ask the right questions. Don’t just ask about the property. Ask about the neighbours, local transport, future developments, and how long the sellers have lived there.

At Hyde & Rowe, we believe buying your first home should be memorable - for the right reasons. We’re here to simplify the process, not complicate it.
