The welcoming hallway, with its original encaustic tiles, leads through to the main reception room, which then flows seamlessly through the ground floor. The sense of cohesion is further enhanced by the herringbone parquet floor, reclaimed from a school in Yorkshire, and laid throughout. At the front of the house, the reception room, with its high ceilings, large bay window and fine Victorian fireplace, combines to create an elegant space. Fantastic volumes have been created in the bright kitchen/diner/family room, which packs a punch with plenty of cooking, dining, entertaining and living space. Crittall-style doors lead out onto the south facing garden for easy living in the warmer months. A cellar provides a useful storage space.

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
