Buying a Property: How Much of YOUR Time Will It Take? 🏡⏰
Ever wondered how much real-time it takes to purchase a home? I’m not chatting about the wait for solicitors or mortgage brokers to get paperwork in order. Instead, I’m talking about the minutes, hours, and days YOU personally invest.
From daily website trawls for new listings 🖥️, liaising with agents, to those weekend property viewings 🚗, it's quite the commitment. And once you've found 'The One', the dance of negotiations begins 📞.
Post-offer acceptance, the paperwork marathon begins. Solicitor quotes, mortgage broker meetings, ID verifications, signing of documents 📄, providing bank statements, payslips, property details, and let's not forget the extensive forms detailing... well, almost your life story.
Chasing, checking, rechecking, ensuring smooth progress towards moving day involves not just your estate agent but also your mortgage broker and solicitor.
Finally, after confirming boundaries and scrutinising contracts, you sign on the magic dotted line🖋️.
Yet, the adventure doesn’t end. Packing 📦, removals 🚚, meter readings, key-cutting 🔑, notifying utility providers, council tax, TV licence, maybe even setting up satellite TV 📡 and internet – phew!
Overall? Expect to set aside a good 5-6 hours weekly throughout this journey. Surprising, right? Most of us claim we lack time for even daily exercise, which could arguably take less time than this property escapade.
