Hello,

The start of spring traditionally brings a rush of properties to the market, as sellers are keen to show off their homes when the sun is shining and their gardens blooming.

For those in the market for a spring purchase, we look at how much deposit you may need in our 3rd article. We also answer many of the common questions posed by established buyers, in article 2: 'Second Time Around.

For those in the market to sell, you might want to give some thought to the competition you may be up against at this time of the year - see the 1st article.

The most important advice to take from this newsletter can be found in article 4, 'Cool in a Crisis, which provides practical advice for dealing with day-to-day stress.

Enjoy this newsletter and feel free to pass it on to family and friends.

Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions by next time buyers.

How much Deposit?

It's possible to buy a home with very little deposit, but there are a number of reasons why it makes sense to save a decent deposit before you apply for a loan.

The number one benefit is that you will have access to a broader choice of home loan options from a great variety of lenders. When assessing a loan application, lenders look at factors like employment history, income, loan amount and deposit as they want to know whether you can pay back your loan on time.

Cool in a Crisis

All of us have suffered from stress at some point in our lives, but no one wants to feel stressed on a daily or weekly basis.

A certain amount of stress is normal and actually prevents us from feeling dissatisfied and bored, but large amounts of stress usually have a destructive rather than a motivating influence. In addition to affecting our ability to make decisions, stress can result in any number of physical and emotional complaints, from headaches and backaches to depression and insomnia.
