Why buy a home in Warrington?
Warrington is a large town in Cheshire on the banks of the River Mersey. Its population has doubled since it became a new town in 1968, when it was around 100,000.
The town developed during the Industrial Revolution because of its great communications with conurbations such as Liverpool and Manchester via the nearby Manchester Ship Canal and the Liverpool to Manchester Railway. It was a manufacturing town and a centre of steel (particularly wire), textiles, brewing, tanning and chemical industries.
The town was highly important in the English Civil War and the armies of Oliver Cromwell and the Earl of Derby both stayed near the old town centre. The town houses the Warrington Museum, the Museum of Policing, and the Museum of Freemasonry.

1. Get a mortgage in principle
Know what you can afford to save wasting time on any false starts.
2. Instruct your conveyancing solicitor before you make your offer
Waiting until your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. An online service reduces snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.
3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
You can submit your application as soon as your offer is accepted. An independent broker can help speed this along.
4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.
5. Get your building insurance ready
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.
6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
