I Want To Buy A House in Cheshunt, What Do I Need To Do?
If you have made the wise decision to move to Cheshunt or the nearby area – congratulations! You have made an epic decision and we couldn’t be happier for you.
Now that you had made this awesome decision, you need to put the wheels in motion! So, what exactly do you need to do?
Get Your Current House in Order
Wherever you live now, you’ll need to think about what you need to do with this to move. If you rent somewhere, look up how much notice you need to give and what you need to do when you want to vacate.
If you own your house, then you need to get this in order. First of all, you need to get it ready to sell. This can involve decorating, de-cluttering and any sorting out you might need to do. You’ll then want to get some valuations from a trusted estate agent and discuss with them when the right time to put the property on the market would be. We’d be happy to give you a valuation on any property in our area, a great place to start is our instant online valuation tool.
Sort Your Finances
At this stage, you’re going to want to consider what finances you have available to decide what your budget is for your next property. The valuation of your existing home will likely contribute to this plus any savings you already have. If you’re planning to buy some of your Cheshunt property with a mortgage then you’ll want to apply for this now too. Getting an Agreement in Principle will help you piece together all of your finances and work out your new home budget. Our Broker, Damien would be delighted to help with this, so feel free to get in touch today for a friendly, no obligation chat.

They are likely to have an idea of other properties on their books and even those that are due to come to market that aren’t listed yet, so you can be the first to view!
Sign, Sealed, Delivered – it’s yours!
Hopefully, you’ll find a house you really like and can place your offer. Once this is accepted and you go through the conveyancing process, contracts get exchanged and your new life in Cheshunt begins!
