Getting on the Property Ladder: How Can Parents and Grandparents Help - Everything First-Time Buyers Need to Know (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916328518)

Many first-time buyers are eager to get on the property ladder, but simply don't know where to start. They may lack the funds or feel confused about their options.

Many parents and grandparents see their children, or grandchildren, struggling to buy their first home and naturally want to help. But again, they simply don't know what to do or how to release funds to help them.

This helpful book answers questions such as:

How much can I borrow?

What deposit do I need?

What are the costs of buying?

How do I negotiate with an estate agent?

What government schemes can I use?

Using his 20 years' experience, Scott Rawlings, gives first-time buyers the information they need to get out there and start searching for their first home.

He also helps parents and grandparents to understand the various ways in which they can assist, what options are available, and what their next steps might be.
