First Time Buyers' Guide
Our independent First Time Buyers' Guide is the first interactive book of its kind, and provides a breakdown of everything you need to know when buying your first home.
The First Time Buyers’ Guide includes:
- The pros and cons of buying and renting.
- 12 easy-to-understand steps to buying a first home.
- A glossary explaining property buying 'jargon' in simple language.
- A ten point action plan on buying a house and moving in.
- Suggested questions to ask a mortgage adviser.
- A list of useful contacts detailing where to go for further questions and advice.
- A 'read aloud' function for those who would rather listen to the guide.
"Nationwide’s First Time Buyers' Guide is a useful guide to support individuals about to take their first step onto the property ladder."
Nicola Hughes, Senior Policy Officer at Shelter.
