However, I actually think that now may be a good time to purchase as house prices might start coming down a little.
Yes, mortgage rates are higher but there could potentially be some good homes out there at more affordable prices – particularly in the new build sector.
Builders will still need to sell units as they’ve got a business to run, which puts buyers in a good position.
I’m proud to have a pretty much equal split of male and female advisers at Mortgage Light.
But no matter anyone’s gender, I’ve always instilled in all my team members the importance of building soft relationships. We get to know our clients as well as their motivations and insecurities.
This allows us to give bespoke advice and help them overcome their concerns.
We all work hard to allow our clients to follow their dreams of getting a home, empowering them to understand their mortgage and feel confident in what they have purchased.
