Buying a new home can be a daunting undertaking. The market is competitive, location is a key factor and ensuring you have the budget to accommodate the largest purchase of your life is paramount. With so many changes affecting home ownership (i.e. the pandemic), prospective homebuyers are not just looking for the best deal they can get, but are placing more importance on size, work-from-home space and more. The way people work has changed so drastically in the last year, work and home have quickly become intertwined. At Highmark Homes, we notice more and more homeowners opting for a home office! With many people adopting a work-from-home set up, it has become important to live somewhere that suits you and your family.
If you’re looking to purchase your first home, or perhaps just looking to move out of the city to somewhere as spacious and lovely as Whitby, we put together a list of our best tips for first time buyers.
Nowadays, being steps away from beautiful natural amenities, while also being connected to work and family, is more accessible than ever.
