With inflation hitting the Bank of England’s 2% target, rising hopes of an interest rate cut and lenders starting to reduce mortgage rates, Money Week asks property advisor platform First In The Door, alongside Money Saving Expert, Zoopla and Rightmove, if now is a good time to buy…
Money Week suggests: It may even be worth using a buying agent to help find a suitable property, especially if there is a lack of supply.
Research by property advisor platform First In The Door – which helps purchasers find a buying agent – shows half of UK adults mistakenly believe estate agents act for both buyers and sellers.
The research found 35% of people find buying a home stressful, compared with 28% of sellers.
Claire Whisker, founder of First In The Door – says a buying agent can provide “early access to off-market homes and advice on where to buy, to negotiating prices with estate agents and presenting offers in the best light.”
