About this site
First Time Buyer Guide is a free information resource intended to help first-time buyers understand a process that, in our experience, is rarely explained clearly from beginning to end.
The content is collated from market data, official guidance and real questions and answers from people who are buying, or have bought, property in England and Wales.
We do our best to double-check everything we publish, and we continue to add to and improve the site. If you think something is missing or wrong, please let us know at hello@firsttimebuyerguide.co.uk.
Although we are happy with the information on the site, it is provided for general information only. We cannot guarantee that it is complete, current or correct, and you should check important points with the professionals involved in your purchase before making a decision or forming a lasting opinion.
The site covers buying property in England and Wales. The buying process and law work differently in Scotland and Northern Ireland, which are outside its scope. Price estimates, tax rules and legal information can change over time, and the answer for a particular purchase may depend on the property, lender and contract involved.
