Understanding Jersey's Property Qualifications System
Jersey's housing qualifications system is unique and can be confusing for those new to the island. Understanding the different categories is essential before beginning your property search.
Buying your first property is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming. Here are our top tips to help first-time buyers navigate the Jersey property market.
Start by getting your finances in order. Speak to a mortgage adviser early in the process to understand how much you can borrow and what deposit you'll need. Jersey has several local banks and lenders who understand the island's unique market.
Consider your priorities carefully. Location, property type, and proximity to schools or work are all important factors. Make a list of must-haves versus nice-to-haves to help narrow your search.
Don't rush the process. Take time to view multiple properties and get a feel for different parishes. Each area of Jersey has its own character and community.
Finally, work with a local estate agent who knows the market inside out. At ND Estates, we pride ourselves on providing honest, straightforward advice to help you find your perfect first home.
