About Buy First Home

A little clarity
for a big first.

Practical starting points for buying your first home in the UK.

A place to start

Buy First Home brings the early questions into one place: what to save, how mortgages work, what to ask at a viewing and what happens after an offer is accepted.

Use the guides with the right advice

The content is general information. It does not assess your circumstances or recommend a particular mortgage, property or financial product. Speak to a regulated mortgage adviser and an appropriate legal professional for your purchase.

Follow the source

The guides link to public information from organisations such as GOV.UK, MoneyHelper, Citizens Advice and the devolved governments. Check those sources for current rules, particularly for tax and home-buying schemes.

About the book

Buying Your First Home by Tamara Blackmiller is available through the existing Amazon listing. The retailer manages prices, availability, purchases and delivery.
