FAQs
Whether you are looking to let or rent a house in Birmingham or anywhere else, here are some of the things you’ll need to consider beforehand.
How long does it take to buy a house?
The house buying process can differ greatly and is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your life. It takes about 6 months in total to buy a house, but this varies from move to move so be sure to do your research in advance. On average it takes around 20 to 90 days to find a house, 15 to 30 days to receive a mortgage offer, 20 to 30 days to find a solicitor and exchange contracts and, finally, 10 to 30 days to complete and get the keys.
What sort of credit score do you need to buy a house?
It’s recommended you have a credit score of 620 or higher when you apply for a conventional mortgage. If your score is below 620, lenders either won’t be able to approve your loan or may be required to offer you a higher interest rate, which can result in higher monthly mortgage payments.
How much does it cost to buy a house in the UK?
The average cost of buying a house in the UK is £33,070, based on a home costing £277,000; the current UK average house price. This varies depending on the location and size of the home. You will also need to factor in the conveyancer you choose and the type of survey you need.
