The home
buying process

Moving home is one of the most stressful things that you’ll ever do, but luckily, our experienced team members will be with you every step of the way! The process of securing your new home is:

  • If you’re a first-time buyer you will need to see a mortgage adviser before you make any offers on a property and be pre-approved or pre-qualified for a mortgage, so you know exactly how much you can borrow.
  • Once you have been pre-approved for a mortgage you can begin your search. You can view our available homes here.
  • Once you have found a home within your budget that you like, get in touch to find out more and to arrange a viewing.
  • When you have found your perfect home and are ready to make an offer, you can do this by contacting Open Door’s Sales Team.
  • If you’re making an offer on a new build property you can, in most cases, put down a small deposit (usually £500) to reserve your property until all the necessary paperwork has been completed.

Unsure about your
ownership options?

Here at Open Door, we offer homes for sale. However, for those who are struggling to save a deposit, we do offer affordable home ownership schemes which are perfect for first time buyers or those looking to get back onto the property ladder. These affordable home ownership schemes are called Shared Ownership and Rent to Buy.

If you’re unsure about what the best home ownership option is for you, why not try our Eligibility Calculator. The Calculator helps you work out what kind of Open Door home you may be able to afford based on your current circumstances.
