Make sure you budget for everything needed when you move to a new home
Unforeseen expenses are part of being a homeowner, especially if you want to keep on top of home maintenance and avoid small problems escalating.
Moving into a new home, especially one you have just bought, can be an exciting although daunting experience, and is often accompanied by unpleasant surprises. The first rates bill is one of these, says Lisa Connellan, sales manager at Knight Frank Residential.
It often takes the council a month or two to get the new ownersÂ’ details on the rates account, so when that first rates bill does come it can be triple what the new owner was expecting.
