Description of The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling property

Buying or selling a home is likely to be the biggest financial transaction most of us are ever involved in and the stakes are high. Without careful planning or clear thought, buying a property can turn into a nightmare of gargantuan proportions. Surveys and solicitors fees aren’t cheap and one mistake can cost you thousands of pounds.

Now in its second edition, The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Property provides an authoritative, independent guide for individuals on the best way to buy, sell, move or buy-to-let in the United Kingdom (including Scotland, where the system is different). It also gives a brief overview of the pros and cons of buying abroad.

This accessible book gives an overview of the property scene in the United Kingdom and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of home ownership. It then advises on finding the right property and describes the processes and legal obligations involved in selling and buying. It also explains the roles of the professionals involved and shows how best to use their services and what can safely be done without their help.

This invaluable new edition will appeal to a wide audience of individuals – from first-time buyer to prospective landlord – interested in making the right property decision from both a lifestyle and an investment standpoint.

Contents include:

- first steps
- finding the right area

- mortgages
- insurance
- making the move
