Most of the first-time buyers we meet start by looking at Kettlewick Meadows, then end up buying in Larch Green or Millbrook. The flats and two-bed terraces there tend to sit a little lower on price, and both villages have a station or a quick bus into town.
Before you book a viewing, get a mortgage agreement in principle. It takes about twenty minutes, it tells you what you can actually borrow, and it means a seller will take your offer seriously. Brightwell Mortgage Advice can do this for you if you'd like a hand.
When you view, go twice: once in daylight and once at school-run time. Ask us anything. We'd rather you knew about the Tuesday bin lorry now than found out in March.
