If you listened to the doom merchants, you would think first-time buyers (FTB) in Shepperton had no chance at all. According to the loudest voices, buying a first home is impossible, the ladder has been pulled up, and the only people who buy their first homes today are lottery winners or those with wealthy parents.
If you’re planning to buy a home soon, you might assume the best place to start is on the property portals, Rightmove, Zoopla, or OnTheMarket. But the truth is, the savviest buyers are seeing homes long before they ever appear online. Here’s why registering with an agent puts you one step ahead.
If you walk down almost any Shepperton road or street, you will see the quiet signs of life playing out behind the front doors. Families growing. Kids leaving home. Kitchens are being refitted for the second or third time. Yet somewhere in that rhythm, every homeowner starts to feel it again ... the gentle itch to move.
If you have ever thought about selling your Shepperton home, you will know how tempting it can be to stretch the asking price. After all, it is your biggest tax-free asset, and those extra few thousand pounds can feel like a sensible cushion. Yet in the Shepperton property market, ambition can sometimes cost more than it earns.
