COMMON QUESTIONS
Common questions
Should finance or property selection come first?
They should begin together. Financing limits shape the shortlist, while a specific property affects valuation and mortgageability.
Is a new build always easier to finance?
No. Lenders assess the specific tenure, building, size, development and valuation rather than relying only on age.
Why consider exit before buying?
The future buyer and tenant pool influences liquidity, valuation and refinancing and is part of the long-term ownership cost.
