When searching for a new home, you should never get something out of your means as this will put you into financial trouble in the future. Do think about the future like if there is room to children if you want them but don’t go over the top and get too many features such as huge garden and and stories housing if it is out of your price range. Always get an independent surveyor as they are paid to be truthful and honest on the state of the house which is crucial as if there is a fault with the house such as eh room, as soon as the signature is signed and something was not checked then its your concern and not the previous tenant.

I would always suggest clients restrict their borrowing to 50-30% of their monthly disposable income. Having said that different clients have different lifestyles. What may be affordable for one set of clients may not be so for another even though their income may be identical!

I wanted to add something else. How about mortgage plans? A group of new home buyers are not aware of all the mortgage options available to them whether they are good or bad resulting in a bad decision that they will regret later. Is there a non for profit organization to assist new buyers in making the right choice?

house is probably the toughest problem to everyone of us. I just can not afford a house by my salary.

I'm glad you started with salary and budget considerations before pre-approval. Too many buyers rush into the process of getting pre-approved, without setting a budget for themselves first. Nice work! ~Brandon

Obviously, what you can afford and what you can get are entirely different things, but this is an old standby for figuring out how much house to consider.

One of the first conversations I have with first time buyers involves determining how much they want to pay a month - NOT what their lender has told them their limit is. Another vital point in our neck of the woods is school districts. It is amazing the role this plays in home values between the two primary counties in our area.
