🔑 Key Takeaways from This Video
🏡 1. Why First-Time Buyers Are the Most Underrated Power Players
Did you know 40% of property transactions involve first-time buyers?
Without first-time buyers, the entire UK housing market stalls!
Despite this, many estate agents work for sellers—not you. Learn why you need your own representation when buying a home.
💰 2. How to Save £15,000 on Your Purchase
Negotiating isn’t just about price—it’s about timing, conditions, and flexibility.
Pro Tip: Instead of chasing new listings, focus on properties that have been on the market for over six weeks—they are more likely to accept lower offers.
Know your budget before you start searching: Speak to an independent mortgage broker (not just your bank!) to get the best deals.
📋 3. Freehold vs Leasehold: What’s the REAL Difference?
Freehold: You own the property and the land. No additional fees.
Leasehold: You own the property but not the land—this can mean extra costs like ground rent, service charges, and lease extensions.
Watch out for lease lengths! Anything under 80 years can be hard to mortgage and expensive to extend.
🔍 4. Questions You MUST Ask Before Making an Offer
What is the seller’s position? (Are they in a chain? Have they found another home?)
Has the property had multiple previous buyers pull out? (Could be a red flag!)
What is the ground rent and service charge? (If leasehold, this can double over time!)
When was the last boiler service? (Avoid costly repairs after moving in!)
💼 5. The Best Strategy for Placing an Offer
Never blurt out your max budget during a viewing!
Use a structured 3-step negotiation instead of jumping to your highest offer too soon.
Time kills deals—but waiting can force the seller’s hand. Learn how a 12-day Mexican standoff saved one buyer thousands!
🏡 6. Taking Your Property Search OFF-MARKET
Pro Tip: The best deals aren’t always on Rightmove or Zoopla!
We use AI-driven prediction tools to identify properties that are likely to hit the market before they list online.
Get ahead of the competition and make an offer before other buyers even know about it!
🔥 7. Why a Good Estate Agent is Your Best Investment
The seller pays their agent to get the highest price—so who’s working for you?
A professional buying agent can negotiate for you, saving you thousands.
Example: Our expert saved one buyer £15,000 off the asking price, even after our fee—meaning they still walked away £8,000 ahead!
