Mortgage with Partner in London

[joshleb]

Hi guys,

Following travelling getting cut short due to cover and me and my partner able to get new jobs in London we've decided to look at buying our first place together.

We currently have a joint income of circa £80k and access to a sizeable deposit.

What's the best way to do this?

Speak to a mortgage advisor first and then look, or find property and use the agents own service?

We're currently looking in South London, around the Thornton Heath area.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
