Advice on buying your own home

Once you find a home you would like to buy and think you can afford there a number of other stages to go through before you can actually buy it. These include:

  • making an offer
  • arranging a mortgage
  • arranging a survey
  • getting a solicitor
  • contracting to buy.

Advice on what is involved in all of these stages, and the things you need to consider at each, can be found on the Adviceguide website of the Citizen's Advice Bureau by clicking on www.adviceguide.org.uk.
