Sandhurst is strongly associated with its military college, attended by both Winston Churchill and Prince Harry. Located 33 miles south west of Central London in Berkshire County and close to Camberley and Bracknell, this pleasant small town is well-equipped with two large hypermarkets and various independent restaurants and boutiques.
Jakes@Tri-Lakes in Yateley road is great for people with young children as it combines a lake, a farm with many different animals (alpacas, peacocks, guinea pigs to name a few) and a soft play area. There's plenty of wildlife and spacious picnic areas. The Horseshoe Lake Activity Centre off Mill Lane focuses on outdoor swimming and boating but walking around the lake is pleasant enough! The centre is particularly useful who are training in the swimming discipline of triathlons.

1. Get a mortgage in principle
Know what you can afford to save wasting time on any false-starts.2. Instruct your conveyancing solicitor before you make your offer
Waiting till after your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. Using an online service cuts down on snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
As soon as your offer is accepted, you can submit your application. An independent broker can help speed this along.4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.5. Get your building insurance ready
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
Berkshire is a county which touches a small part of the borders of West London. It is a home county (because it borders Greater London) and is often called Royal Berkshire because it contains Windsor and Windsor Castle. It hosts a number of iconic UK landmarks, such as Ascot (Ascot Racecourse), Wentworth (Golf Course), Sunningdale (Golf Course), Virginia Water, Windsor Great Park and Eton School. Virginia Water was the first postcode area where the average property price exceeded one million. Like many of the home counties, there are many essentially commuter dormitory settlements which house London workers. Reading (which is Berkshire's county town), in particular, is a larger one and is popular because of its very fast rail links to Central London - there are many one-stop services to London Paddington and it is also due to be the western terminus of the Crossrail line.

Should I make a will when buying a house?
Yes, definitely. When you have moved in, you will already have part-bought a major asset (using your deposit funds) and one which you will steadily own more of as time passes, or if you're a cash buyer, you'll own your asset outright from the beginning. You should think about how you would dispose of it if you were to die.
You may, for example, have family which you will want to see looked after properly which often might mean their continuing to live in your house after your death. For this purpose, you may also want to take out life insurance (click to get a quote) so any mortgage repayments are covered.
Even if you already have a will in place, you may want to revise it after your purchase to ensure everything is still applicable. Bear in mind that having a legally sound will in place greatly aids the efficiency of the probate process.
in contrast, not having a legally valid will available on your death means your estate having to go to administration, which takes considerably longer – at a time when your dependants may sorely need funds – and may involve greater expense and even anguish as different parties can seek to be included in your disposal of assets.
We can draw up wills and mirrored wills for you – call 0207 112 5388 to enquire.
