Why buy a home in Corby?
Corby is a town and borough in the county of Northamptonshire, most famous for its iron and steel industry. Corby was once known as "Little Scotland" due to the large number of Scottish workers who came to Corby for its steelworks. Corby sits on a huge bed of ironstone, which was worked on in Roman Times but abandoned during the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1558 - 1603). In 1933, Corby was home to the Stewarts and Lloyds' Steel Works, which became Europe's largest of its kind.
If you visit Corby today, you will be met with a whole host of naturistic attractions, including East Carlton Country Park, Corby Boating Lake and Fineshade Wood. The Beautiful 'Kirby Hall' sits proudly in the countryside of Corby which was once owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I and has been used as a filming location for many productions.

The little town of Corby is located along the A43, A427, A6003 and 6 miles from the A14 at Kettering. Corby lies within a 2-hour drive of four international airports: Birmingham International, Luton, Stanstead and East Midlands.
As Corby is a relatively new town, the road network is different from that of older towns, with several dual carriageways, wide reservations, high-speed limits and underpasses.

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.
