In a recent blog post by Bed Threads, Oscar Lewis shared valuable insights on how first-home buyers can take the right steps towards homeownership and avoid common pitfalls that often complicate the process.

From understanding your budget to researching the market thoroughly, Oscar emphasised the importance of preparation and seeking professional guidance. He highlighted key mistakes buyers make, such as neglecting pre-approval, skipping inspections, and overlooking the long-term potential of a property.
“If you’ve done your research in the months leading up to getting your pre approval, when you eventually see the best one, you know you’ve seen enough to know that that’s an incredible property at the right price,” says Oscar.
7 tips for first home buyers:
- Know Your Budget
- Secure Loan Pre-Approval
- Research the Property Market
