What essentials do I need when buying my first home?
When buying your first home or live in any home, you could go crazy buying everything you think you will need if you have the funds.
We have all bought something that we thought we needed and never used it.
The most important essentials for any home are a fire blanket and fire extinguisher. You may not think that you will need either of these, but they may make the difference of being able to minimise damage to your home in the event of a fire.
It goes without saying, we all need a cooker, a fridge freezer and a bed but for first time buyers who may have lived with parents, where do you buy these things and how do you know if they are of good quality?
The costs associated with buying appliances and everything else that goes with it can be quite costly.
We have an affiliation with AO.Com because from our experience, their customer service is second to none. The retailer has recently been named Best UK Retailer by the public in Verdict Retail’s 2016 Customer Satisfaction Awards beating John Lewis!
