Fed up with Renting? We can help!

Tim Studden - Independent Mortgage

If you rent your home, you’ll know just how stressful it can sometimes be. Putting up with other people’s annoying living habits, the insecurity of short notice periods, less-than-helpful landlords – the list goes on.

Even if you have a good renting experience, it can still be frustrating to know your hard-earned cash is going into someone else’s pocket each month.

If you've ever thought about owning your own place, the mortgage market may appear daunting. How do you choose the right deal? Which lenders should you talk to? And what on earth is a Standard Variable Rate?!


Specialist mortgage advice for first time buyers

I know choice is important, so I have access to over 30 lenders, thousands of products, and some exclusive deals that you won’t find anywhere else.

But I also know that choice is no good without guidance and advice. I'll spend time getting to know you and your specific circumstances, and I will help you understand:

·         How much you can borrow
·         The extra costs you need to consider
·         How to protect your investment
·         Which mortgage deal is most suitable

Most importantly, I’ll support you throughout the purchase process. That way, you can be sure someone is there to guide you every step of the way.


Call me today for some friendly advice

If you’re fed up with renting and considering stepping onto the property ladder, why not give me a call on: 01626 366966 / 07989 406541 or email tim@tmgltd.co.uk

With interest rates low, and competition increasing among lenders, I can help you find a mortgage deal that’s right for you.

Save £4,500 when purchasing this individual family home!

The stamp duty reform at the end of last year has certainly had an effect on the property market.
In many instances this has been very positive, especially with property priced around £250,000.  When selling homes just above this figure, the stamp duty used to cause a real stumbling block. For certain buyers the changes represent a huge financial saving.

Darith in Kingskerswell is just one great example of this. Under the old rules had you purchased this property for £275,000 you would have paid £8,250 in stamp duty.  Now you would only pay £3,750. This represents a saving of £4,500, making this stunning property far more affordable.

The substantial detached family home is stylishly laid out, and tastefully decorated throughout. Its versatile split level accommodation boasts 3 / 4 bedrooms, including a 5m x 4m playroom, and master en-suite, as well as a lounge, dining room and conservatory.

It’s beautifully situated on the edge of popular Kingskerswell village, making Torbay, Newton About and beyond easily accessible and enabling pleasant rural aspects. Outside offers front and rear gardens, under house storage, driveway and garage to complete the great all round property.

As well as the useful stamp duty saving, Darith has many superb aspects that must be seen to be fully appreciated. To experience the comfortable and homely feel the property offers, an internal viewing is essential.

Being very fond of the area the vendors are eager to proceed with a property nearby and are highly motivated to sell.

For more information and to view Darith please contact Tom on 01626 366966.
