buying and selling a home can be a personal headache and a
financial lucky-dip. British newspapers groan under the weight of
property supplements; TV reports constantly track house prices;
young people fret about getting on the property ladder, while
established homeowners worry about how to increase the value of
their home or the market crashing.
Buying a property is rarely straightforward and can be very
time-consuming. There are numerous choices to make, from the style
of building and location, to proximity to schools and other
amenities. Most of all, there are plenty of opportunities to
make the wrong decisions.
Selling your home is also fraught with stress; from deciding to
move and evaluating your property's worth to finding an
estate agent and putting your home on the market, every step comes
with it's own difficulties. Plus the advent of the Home
Information Packs has also created a new headache for potential
vendors.
Buying and Selling a Home For Dummies, 2nd
Edition covers everything from finding a property and getting a
mortgage to preparing your home for sale and moving on. It is
also one of the few guides to cover England, Wales and Northern
Ireland as separate entitles from Scotland, and to cover the
Scottish property market. This updated guide also
contains coverage of HIPS (Home Information Packs), which were made
compulsory in September 2007 and apply to all properties with three
or more bedrooms.
Melanie Bien is a property writer and a Director of Savills Private Finance. She is the author of the bestselling Renting Out Your Property For Dummies.
