good sites for first-time buyers

hi there
was just wondering if anyone had recommendations for good/unbiased websites for buying a house in the UK.

i'm mostly looking for advice and commentary.

cheers

Try estateangels.com. It seems to be pretty unbiased and sends emails to me with a lot of useful information. Good luck!

It's not a website, but Which! publishes a book that gives an overview of the whole process that we found helpful. Then our first step really was a mortgage consultant, to get preapproved and know what price range we could be looking in. The hardest part about the process for us was finding something within our budget in this crazy property market.  If all goes well we'll be moving in mid-January.

Good Luck.

A good site to see a wide variety of houses is www.vebra.co.uk. Vebra is the database that a good deal of estate agents use to post houses on. So you'll get loads of different estate agent sites.

www.rightmove.co.uk is good

thanks everyone. am in the midst of a first-time buy as we speak! fingers crossed.....

Jon and I are hoping to buy a house in a few months. It's so scary! Good luck!

Please keep this thread updated, if possible. It will be some time before I can buy but I'm hoping to as early as possible after moving.
