  • You have a permanent contract of employment

“From day one, Sandie at First Step was utterly professional, helpful and courteous. Throughout the whole process we found Sandie to be honest, transparent and supportive. Like any home buying process, we encountered some unanticipated obstacles along the way, and Sandie was not only patient with us, but was able to offer good advice and assistance to help us overcome any problems encountered. First Step are a professional organisation and do not in any shape or fashion try to hard sell, and this was truly reflected in all our contact with Sandie.”

“A massive thank you to Sandie and her colleagues at First Step. They have made the process of me getting on to the property ladder and buying my first home (which I absolutely love) possible where previously I thought it may never happen.

Having been searching for a long time to purchase a property to be near my son and his new family, I discovered to my disappointment that just about all the properties that I considered suitable were completely out of my price range. During my search with Rightmove, I found a flat which was part buy/part rent which was only possible for me to purchase because it was through First Step. I found that their representative Sandie and her team were extremely patient and helpful throughout the process which enabled me to finally, after a long search, to be able to afford a place of my own.”
