Our First Home
We moved out together at the ages of 17 and 18, prior to this we were together all the time at each others houses, so thought it would be amazing to move out. We moved into a one bedroom house (which we were renting from Lauren’s Mum and Dad), that had a really nice sized garden which our cats love! It was located down a very quiet road which was also a bonus, the drive from the house to our workplace was a 45 minute commute.
After living in our home for 1 year and 7 months, We were ready to make a change and buy our own home! So after a lot of viewings to ensure we found our perfect home, we finally found the one. We found our home via Taylor Wimpey and it is named the Yewdale, it has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, which one is an en-suite for our master bedroom. It has our own side by side parking, which was a requirement for us. We were also lucky enough to find a detached house which was a bonus! As the house was still being built, we were able to pick our options and customize the house throughout. Relocating to our new home will mean our work commute will now only be 20 minutes!
Throughout the process we have had no issues and it has been very smooth sailing. We used a company named Partridges as our mortgage brokers as they were recommended by Taylor Wimpey. They were really helpful and supported us during the buying experience. There were no fees for using them which was great too! We also required solicitors, again using the recommended, Norton Peskett, sadly unlike the Brokers, there is a fee for their services which we budgeted for early on.
