First, Find a House & a Financer

Before accessing a first time home buyer’s grant, one must choose a home to purchase. Be sure it’s the right one, with as many of the “wish list” items in it as possible. Next, find a lender who will approve a mortgage. One cannot apply for a grant unless he has the mortgage approved. After getting the mortgage set up with a lender, it’s time to find out what grants are available.
