The Home Buying Process Explained - Start to Finish

[@MattBrighton]

Did you spot my mistake at the beginning of the video? I was meant to say "You wouldn't be wrong" Are you buying your first home at the moment or have bought your home? How did you find the process?

[@Hallo-vt5rf]

How many properties do you have?

I'm in the U.S. but its still really interesting to see the process for buying homes in other countries as well! Nice channel by the way, great quality videos 👍

[@unorthodoxsavings9552]

This video is really cool ive always wondered what the buying process was like in the UK

[@MattBrighton]

Haha - long, length and backwards!

[@Rockhopper1]

thank you, so as well as having to raise funds for a deposit I need around 3k set aside to pay for fees! Trying to find a house is stressful enough.

Thanks for posting this video, it really helps. I am going through hell with my sale/purchase. I am selling a leasehold and buying a freehold. My buyer has already sold their place and the house I am buying is already vacant with no chain. It has been going on for months and months and everyone is blaming each other for the delays. We are fast approaching Christmas and my mortgage offer expiry date is the 08.01.2025, I have spoken to my broker and he said there is a good chance I will have to pay a higher rate if my offer has to be renewed. I really do feel like giving up!!! Any advice to speed things up would be appreciated.

Glad you found it useful!

Great video. The bit that wasn’t clear to me is when each of the party can bail out. You mentioned that the lender and the seller can stop the process if the value differs from the offered one. Can the buyer do that as well? Could the buyer add more conditions in the offer to protect themselves more? Because it seems that the substantiated offer makes the buyer bound to it, which seems unfair.

[@lavayuki]

For a first time buyer buying a no chain property will it still take that long?

[@jese5081]

Do one of these but for rental property’s!

[@MattBrighton]

Same process - you just rent it out at the end & mortgage is a buy to let one

[@TheEd0206]

All of this seems pretty normal except for the parts where the lender tells you how much they are willing to lend for a particular house and as you said that in England the property survey is not all done upfront. I'm not from the UK by the way.

[@MattBrighton]

Usually the lender will give you a rough idea. Then as you go into full application they’ll get a surveyor to check it for their final offer

[@TheEd0206]

Well, the fact that the lender will decide on how much money they are going to lend you base on anything else other than your ability to pay them back is a bit weird but I guess this is to discourage overpricing of properties.
