According to Zoopla, almost two-thirds of neurodiverse people give up on buying a home.* Here are three tips to make the process easier and less stressful.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Decide what you want and don\u2019t give up<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re selling, take all the time you need; don\u2019t be rushed. Ask estate agents for valuations. Then decide the minimum price you can or will accept and stick to it.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re buying, make a list of \u2018must haves\u2019 and a separate list of \u2018nice to haves\u2019. Don\u2019t back down on the features that you really want, such as a quiet street, an easy journey to work or a house with a garden to relax in. Be prepared to compromise on the \u2018nice to haves\u2019.<\/p>\n

Do as much as you can remotely<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

By doing as much as possible online, you can minimise the number of face-to-face viewings you have to do. You can also make decisions in your own time at your own home.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re selling, ask your estate agent to prepare a comprehensive listing with lots of detail, images, and a video tour (if available).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re buying, research the area and property online in advance. Use Google Maps and Street View to check out the neighbourhood before visiting it. Ask the selling agent for any extra information or images you need before deciding whether to view a property.<\/p>\n

Find a friend to help you<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

When it comes to property, two heads are often better than one.<\/p>\n

A sympathetic friend or family member can help share the load and make buying or selling much less stressful. They could ask (or field) questions and queries for you and make (or take) offers on your behalf. A close confidante could also help you deal with mortgage applications and solicitors.<\/p>\n
