Situation

Manton is on the southern banks of the River Kennet approximately 1 mile from Marlborough. The walk into Marlborough is about 10 minutes via a lane and footpath which follows the river. Village amenities include an excellent primary school, a toddler group, a church and a public house. There is also a recently renovated recreational ground in Manton with a playground/adventure course which runs down to the river. Marlborough is a thriving market town with excellent shopping including Waitrose and Tesco’s, as well as restaurants including Rick Stein, ASK and Caffé Nero in addition to the shopping precincts Hilliers Yard (near Waitrose) and Hughenden Yard (between Boots and W H Smith). The leisure centre and golf club and tennis club provide excellent sporting facilities. Although self-sufficient, the town is well placed for other centres including Swindon, Bath, Hungerford and Newbury and is surrounded by the most attractive countryside of the Marlborough Downs, Pewsey Vale and Kennet Valley. Train services (Paddington in 50 minutes from Hungerford or Swindon) and M4 connections make London easily accessible.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
