Critical Maths
The most important factor to consider before hunting around for property is your borrowing capacity. You will need to establish the price range that fits your criteria at the very outset. It's also important to consider your ability to manage the repayments. An easy way to start is by crunching your figures in a mortgage calculater, which will quickly estimate how much you can borrow and what the repayments will be over different periods, such as a 25 or 30 year loan. Sometimes that extra length of time will allow your borrowing capacity to increase enough to move your home search up to a higher bracket. A shorter term might mean you can pay the loan off a lot faster and save thousands.

The calculators will also assist you to work out where you will stand in the event that interest rates rise unexpectedly, and how much you will save when they go down.
