The Land Settlement Association (LSA) built an estate of smallholdings in the late 1930s just south of Great Abington. This was one of about 20 such estates across the country, established to provide employment opportunities for long-term unemployed man coming from depressed, industrial areas. The Abington site extended to around 690 acres and comprised of 62 smallholdings. Each lot comprised around 11+ acres and included a modest house, outbuildings and piggeries. The LSA in Abington, closed in 1983 at which time, the current owners purchased their house and land to continue with their businesses. The Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2031 extended permitted development rights to the dwellings and former piggeries.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
