Reading First Time Buyers: Follow My 5.5 Simple Steps To Securing Your Dream First Home!

First time buyer in Reading? This is for you. All the great homes seem to sell quickly and estate agents don't call you first (or sometimes don't call at all). My 5.5 simple steps will get you in the best position so you're front and centre when your dream home comes up! Be sure to follow my socials too to ensure you #beattheportals


Ok, it should be obvious but the most important thing you should do as a serious buyer is arrange your financials.

Speak to an Independent Financial Advisor BEFORE you start arranging viewings and even looking on Rightmove if you want to be taken seriously and give yourself the best chance of securing your ideal first home.


Now would be a great time to speak to a few Reading based Conveyancers, get a feel of who you like and have some quotes to hand so you can factor that into the budget.

Once you find your home you may need to instruct them at pace to secure it so be ready.

If you need any recommendations, feel free to reach out to me as I only work with the great ones.


So, maybe it’s the Reading location, number of bedrooms, driveway, cloakroom, good schools, close to parks etc. Whatever matters most, you should have three attributes that you do not budge on.

You’ll see a lot of houses and you need to ensure you secure the one that provides the best practicality for you and your family.


So, by now you know your budget, you have your chosen Conveyancer at the ready and you know exactly what you’re looking for but, where? Now it’s time to decide on your location!

Take a drive around, explore the places that could become your next neighbourhood. Check out the schools and ensure the location gives you exactly what you and your family need.

How do you beat those odds? When most people decide to put their Warfield home on the market, they assume one thing. That it will sell.

It’s no great revelation that young people in Bicester are finding it increasingly difficult to buy a home. Rising living costs, modest wage growth, and stricter mortgage lending rules have all contributed to a noticeable shift in the housing landscape.

More homes. More choice. But that's only half the story. Although the number of properties for sale locally has increased since 2022, the number of homes selling has also increased.

The June 2025 property market shows a slight dip in asking prices but strong buyer demand remains. With more homes on the market and motivated buyers actively searching, it’s a great time for sellers who price smartly. Here’s what you need to know from Rightmove’s latest data.
