BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Moving up without overlooking your current mortgage.

Use Stevenage’s council-area snapshot to put an asking price into context, then investigate the individual property. The first-time buyer average covers purchases by that buyer group; it is not a promise that a suitable home is available at that price.

If you are selling to fund the move, ask your lender for the current redemption balance and any early repayment charge. A portable product does not mean the next application is automatically accepted. Extra borrowing may have a different rate and end date, which matters when comparing a move with staying put.

Use this historical snapshot to frame questions about your shortlist, not to value a home or calculate what you can borrow. Actual property price, lender valuation, deposit, income and commitments need their own assessment.

CHECK THE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY

Useful checks, before an offer.

Use these original sources to investigate your shortlist. Your conveyancer and surveyor should advise on the property; a mortgage adviser assesses borrowing and lender requirements.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Good to know.

Can you help a Stevenage buyer before they have an offer accepted?

Yes. We can review the outline finances and discuss an agreement in principle before the property-specific application.

What if my current mortgage has an early repayment charge?

We can compare the potential charge against options such as porting or waiting, depending on lender criteria and the timing of your move.
