Housing & Real Estate, a practical guide from rental contracts to home buying and housing policy

Finding a home and keeping it safe is mostly decided before anyone signs. Here we walk through leases, purchases and housing policy in the order the process actually happens.

We cover reading property registers and liens, residence registration and fixed dates, the mechanisms that protect a deposit, renewal rights and re-contracts, moving-day settlements and brokerage fees, subscription schemes and loan limits, and policy changes such as redevelopment rules.

A single contract can shape several years of living costs. We set out what to check and when, so the mistakes that are hard to undo get caught before they happen.
