Get independent advice when you’re buying your first home to ensure you’re making the right decision. It's like doing anything new – you need the right advice from the right people at the right time to make the right decision. PREP TO BUYEveryone knows you need a decent wad of cash to buy a property, but do you know how much? It's also smart to get a lawyer on board before you start looking – you'll need their advice throughout the process. If you're buying with a partner, each of you needs to be clear about what you're willing to compromise on.
