THE TSPC IS THE KEY TO THAT FIRST HOME
29 March 2017
BUYING is a better bet than renting for Scots.
And with the Tayside Solicitors Property Centre handling 4 in every 5 property sales in the area, first-time buyers are sure to beat a path to the Whitehall Crescent Centre or scan the regularly updated website.
Our member legal firms are perfectly placed to advise newcomers to the market as they seek to gain a foothold on the housing ladder.
A recent bank survey reported that first-time buyers in Scotland in a three-bedroom property are, on average, £850 a year better off than their equivalent in the rental sector.
For eight years in a row, buying has been more favourable than renting.
Any home buyer, of course, is constrained by their budget - and this is especially true of first-time buyers, with the average age of UK buyers edging upwards over recent years.
The TSPC, however, offers a wide range of homes with prices which are pitched at the all-important first-time buyer market.
Despite the enduring popularity of the “Buy to Let” sector, owning the roof over your head remains the ideal state of affairs for as many people as ever.
Lynne Hill, manager at the TSPC, said: “Here at the Whitehall Crescent Centre we have many homes for sale which appeal to first- time buyers.
“In order to get the mortgage needed for the first step onto the property ladder it is important that you have saved, shown you are reliable and ideally have gathered together a deposit.
“Different lenders may adopt a different attitude to funding a first-time buyer purchase.
“And your solicitor can offer advice on all aspects of the buying procedure and how to go about trying to secure that all-important mortgage funding.”
