Understanding Property Jargon Checklist

Buying a home is one of the most exciting times of a person’s life. Similarly, selling up to move into a bigger or more practical house, or perhaps dipping into the investment market by snapping up a buy-to-let property, are also moments to savour.

However, for those unfamiliar with the many terms of the housing market it can also be a linguistic nightmare, from the initial research through to contract exchange.

The guide below can help clear up some of the jargon associated with property. It’s perfect for either the aspiring homeowner or the seller moving on to their next home, a person aiming to make money as a landlord, or perhaps someone wishing to learn more about property and investment but unsure about some of the key terms and expressions.
