The Real Cost of Buying a Home Remains a Mystery to Many

A survey this month found that almost a quarter of homebuyers didn't have a clue about the additional costs of buying a home beyond the deposit and mortgage.

Many of those interviewed completely failed to take into account other costs such as for the survey, solicitor fees and even Stamp Duty Tax.

Tony Rice, of Bedfordshire-based specialist mortgage and insurance brokers TMP Mortgage Zone, said: "I think most people recognise buying a home will be their biggest financial commitment, but it's worrying that so many people aren't taking into account all the costs associated with buying a home whether you're a first time buyer, remortgaging or moving house."

Testimonials

"At the last minute of purchasing new commercial premises my bank let me down, reducing the amount they could lend me. The ideal property which was crucial to the growth of my business was slipping through my fingers. You very quickly arranged a mortgage with another lender and smoothed this through in a way I wouldn't have thought possible. Without your help I would have certainly lost the barn we are now working in."
