With renewed activity in the UK property market, plenty of buyers are keen to get out there and start viewing. But for many first-time buyers, simply being able to afford a property can still feel a long way off.

What to watch out for with budget properties

Cheap does not always mean cheerful. Before committing to a sub-£50K home, factor in:

• Renovation costs — many bargains need significant work to become habitable.
• Location and demand — remote areas can be harder to resell.
• Access and amenities — check transport, broadband and local services.
• Survey and legal checks — never skip a proper survey on an older property.

Selling a budget home? Presentation still matters

Whatever a property's price, buyers shop online first — and they judge a listing on its photos and floor plan. Even an affordable home sells faster when it is presented well.
