This book is written for homebuyers in the USA and many of the hints and tips do not apply to the UK housing market.

Format:Paperback
the book does contain some useful tips and advice, and considering that buying a house is in theory the largest purchase we make then any advice is worth having. However the book is squarly aimed at the American market and so about a third of the information is pointless and some of the rest must be checked prior to planning with it.

As first homebuyers, we made a wise choice when we selected this book. It was very informative and provided insider information that our agent did not tell us. I believe that our buying process was smoother because we were able to anticipate things better since we were better informed.
