An old friend of mine lives in Australia. Her mother died last year and now her brother ( he has a low level learning disability) wants to buy a flat with some of the proceeds from the sale of the old family home.
She is unfamiliar with how UK house purchase works and he has no knowledge of what he needs to do. Once he has found the property he likes ( he has what seem to be very sensible criteria for this) she will come over to help with the practicalities.
Is there a simple guide to house/flat purchase - perhps written for first time buyers- I can suggest to them?
