Firstly, make sure you definitely want to buy.
It's most people's dream to own their own property however, taking into consideration the economy and increasing property prices in the UK, it's essential that buying is financially viable for you amongst many other things.
There could be a number of situations where people would be better off renting their first property, for instance; someone who is planning to move out of the area soon or somebody looking for a temporary student accommodation.
Secondly, consider your budget and your finances.
Decide on how much you want to spend - and more importantly, what you can afford to spend. You should always do market research before deciding on your budget so you can make a more accurate decision on how much of a deposit you can put together in order to buy.
There are a number of fee's and other finances included in the process of buying a property such as taking out a mortgage. You might also find hidden costs such as re-decoration or damages to the building.
Thirdly, area and type of property.
Choosing area is very important - are you moving locally? or far away?
If you're moving far away, you have many more decisions to make and need to ensure you set yourself more time to make these.
You also need to make sure the desired area you choose is within your budget.
Once you choose your area - you can then choose your perfect property! Choosing a specific area also enables you to research other properties for sale within close proximity, giving you a better idea of price.
You also might require a certain property type, for instance; a family might require a 3-bedroom house whereas a student may be looking for a studio flat.
