A detached family house offering versatile living accommodation, in need of some renovation and reconfiguration.

DESCRIPTION

4 Elcot Close sits on a larger than average plot and is a detached family home offering versatile living accommodation. The property is within a quiet residential cul-de-sac of similar homes. Currently offering four bedrooms and four reception rooms, the property offers someone the opportunity of renovation and reconfiguration to make for a wonderful family home.

The internal layout could be altered to create either a large open plan kitchen/family room, or alternatively where the current utility room and office are, this could be utilised as a self-contained annexe for older children or relatives, or for running a business from home.

Subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions, there is the opportunity of adding a second storey extension to both the left- and right-hand side of the property, therefore creating additional bedrooms to the first floor.

OUTSIDE

To the front of the property is a driveway providing parking for two to three vehicles are a lawned garden. A wooden gate provides side access to an area of hardstanding, ideal for a motor home and access to the garden beyond. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with an array of specimen tree, hedge and flower borders. A paved patio area creates the perfect place for family BBQ’s or for sitting out an enjoying the sunshine.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
