Information For First Time Buyers
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008In such a competitive market, searches for useful information about buying, selling or renting property are often diluted with spammy sites.
To help sift through some of this and get to the useful informative sites and blog posts about property, I’ve compiles a list of the best I’ve found.
- Up My Street - facts about where you live in England and Wales, including property prices, top GCSE and A-Level schools, Council Tax rates, crime rates.
- Land Registry - This is the Government run website which holds specific information about property is available from here for a fee. But they also show statistics on house prices for districts. You can for example compare the rise of house prices in Stockport to Cheshire.
- Share To Buy - They have some great information if you’re planning to buy a house with someone. They also have an outline for a contract to use if you’re buying with someone.
- First Rung Now - This has mortgage and property advice for first time buyers.
- Mortgage comparisons - MoneySupermarket and Motley Fool offer price comparisons from various lenders, but you can often get impartial advice from a mortgage advisor.
If you have any suggestions you would like to add, please add a comment and I’ll review, and update this list if appropriate.
